Do you know Morse code?

How's about The Most Forsythest P. Jones Infinity Plus One.

Thanks, yes, sb fixed my username. Type it into a search engine if you want to know what it is about ;).

I only remember E I S H T M O :partying_face:

@Forsythe:

Do you like the show Riverdale, or do you prefer the comic books?

I miss Marlin P Jones…

I also want “LOL” mode instead of “SOS” mode, so I can flash my snarky retorts at people from a distance.

> Do you like the show Riverdale, or do you prefer the comic books?

I remember the comic books from the old days. I haven’t seen the TV show and even though I’d already heard of it, I found myself surprised just now that such a thing existed.

The best I used to be able to do was spell out “SOS” and I only knew that because an ol’ zoomie had that annoying function. :smiley:

That works.

I think Morse code is interesting but I would NOT want to program a flashlight with a whole bunch of clicking. Too time-consuming and it’d wear out the switch doing something other than providing me light. Now if someone could devise a system where words or sentences in Morse could be flashed directly to the light—-then we’d be talking.

My wife’s whole family knew it due to them being hamsters.

Lol it took me a second to realize you meant ham radio operators xD

That explains it, i was confused at what that meant

It takes a lot of clicking already! The idea is to use LESS clicking, by not having to navigate all the menus. You just enter a few letters to get directly to the mode you want.

well, imagine a flashlight that will program
a limited number of phrases in Morse Code.
sort of like a smartphone quick response text.

so…text in MC as mentioned above: LOL
dotdashdotdot, dashdashdash, dotdashdotdot
for example.

Once upon a time I was a Navy Radioman, I learned Morse Code in “A” school. Never used it and have long forgotten it. It seems to me learning and remembering the Anduril mode menu is easier then learning Morse Code. If It ain’t broke……

Did you know that Morse code is neither a code, nor was it invented by Morse.

I learned once I was in boy scouts, like 20 years ago or so.

The only letters I remember is “S” and “O” to form S.O.S sign.
Couldn’t forget because it’s printed everywhere on any survival guides and used in several flashlights.

I learned it at the 5wpm needed to get a novice ham license as a kid. I find I still remember it, though would have to practice to get back to where I was. Well, I’ll wait for my d4v2 to arrive and see if its switch seems at all suited to this. If not, maybe some future flashlight. I like the idea of a text mode interface just because, heh. We’ll see.
