MorseReader

A microcontroller does not need a display to tell you what it is doing. Sometimes one LED is enough. MorseReader treats the camera as an optical receiver. Point it at a flashing status LED and read the message as text. Without a display, serial cable, network connection or additional receiver hardware. The raw camera stream is around 4 Gbit/s. Your status message may be 10 bit/s. Sip the useful bits from the camera firehose. Finding the mushy waveform in that torrent of pixels is MorseReader's problem.

MorseReader estimates the dot duration automatically, with an optional manual timing override for difficult signals.
