Automated SOS

This project uses an Arduino at Heart module to repeat
an SOS signal in Morse Code. We start by
constructing the circuit. Next we
install the Arduino IDE on a computer.
Finally, we type the code and upload it to the Arduino at Heart module.

Start with the power module.

Connect the Arduino at Heart module to the power
module.

Connect a buzzer to port d5.

Connect the LED to port d9.

Connect the USB cable from the Arduino at Heart
to your computer (Computer is not shown).

Download the Arduino IDE for your platform from http://arduino.cc

The instructions below demonstrate the
installation of the Arduino IDE for the Windows platform.

After downloading the appropriate file, install
the Arduino IDE software by double-clicking the downloaded file.

Read and agree to the license by clicking the “I
Agree” button.

Leave all components checked. Click Next.

Leave the destination folder as is. Click Install.

Allow the installer to extract the files.

When prompted to install the device driver,
click the Install button.

When the installation completes, press the Close
button.

Start the Arduino IDE by double-clicking the icon.

1.
Turn on the power module.

2.
Select the Arduino Leonardo in the Tools menu.

Select the serial port. (This port may change every time you connect
the Arduino at Heart module).

Type in the following code and save it as Morse. This program is called a sketch.

Type in the following code and save it as Morse. This program is called a sketch.

Upload the sketch to the Arduino at Heart module
by clicking the right arrow under the Edit menu.

Watch and listen as an SOS distress call is tapped out!
