Fork the code and test it out for yourself. https://github.com/chrismeehan/MorseCode/tree/FinalMorseCode2

I’m the developer who designed this app. Feel free to ask me any questions about the code that makes it work, or about the app in general.

Awesome idea - do you think it has any non-toy applications? Also related, do you know how far you see see the light away from if say you were in the middle of the ocean after a plane wreck (I have no idea about the physics!)

It can read from a distance of up to 100 feet at night.
