Ryan Ludt Week #6/#7

Now that we have begun the coding process in our project, we have made some good progress on our application. I have a functioning application that allows us to control the flashlight on the phone over specific time frames. Katie has created the Morse Code chart and applied the pattern to each character. What I will do now, is I will assign a specific time for each Morse Code unit and I will apply Katie's chart and try to output a message in Morse Code using the flashlight, using input from a text box.

So for example, let's say that our Morse Code unit has a length of 1 second. I will have a sample text box in a test app, and with that text we will convert the text into a binary sequence of 0's and 1's using Katie's chart. My job is to take that binary sequence and output the message to the flashlight. Each binary bit represents one Morse code unit, and so my job is to specify a length of time for how long each unit will be so that the receiving phone will still be able to properly interpret the message, and output the message using the flashlight on the sending device.

Once I am able to correctly output a message on the sending device, I will then start working on the image processing portion for the receiving device and actually getting the device to read the message being sent by the sending device.
