Santa was very nice and I got a nice Arduino for Christmas. I’ve been meaning to snag one of these for a while but I kept putting it off. After reading the great documentation they have, I quickly started making LEDs blink and such.
After messing about with the examples for a while, I decided to see if I could whip something up from scratch. I had bookmarked Mark, K6HX’s entry about an Arduino based Morse Code Beacon and decided to take a crack at it. My code is a bit of a kludge, but it does work:
Now, to get this hooked up into a radio to make sure it can do more then blink an LED…
UPDATE: Uhhh… Yeah, so I guess Mark updated his beacon and did some pretty impressive stuff, making my implementation look like a Pinto while his is a Corvette. Oh well. It was a learning experience.

Hey, all projects worth doing are learning experiences, and are therefore worth redoing. Each time you do, you learn something new. Glad to see that you found my posting of some use.
