Algodoo

I must admit that your scene is better than mine in many ways, and the most important way is the fact that your character spacing and dot-dash timing are more accurate than they are in my scene. Excellent job!

My natural Morse code decoding ability has gotten rusty over the years, but I can still copy it with pen and paper without error at about 20 WPM. Back in my Navy and Ham Radio days I was able to copy about twice that speed and could send three times that speed with a Vibroplex Bug.

Thanks. Making the scene was harder than I originally thought. I'm impressed with your decoding ability. I can only decode "HELLO WORLD" so far, since that's what I used for testing.

I was thinking that an interesting project for either one of us would be to make a scene that uses a Vibroplex Bug (mechanical keyer). It uses weights, springs, and electrical contacts to form dots and dashes. It's basically an electrical switch controlled by a person's hand. If interested, search on YouTube for "Vibroplex Bug" and you will see lots of videos that show it in operation. If you decide not to do it, then I might take a stab at it. Let me know what you think of it.

Thanks

Very interesting device from a physics and engineering perspective. My understanding is that it is an automatic dot generator. Thanks for the info, but I don't plan on Algodooing the Vibroplex Bug anytime soon.
