Morse code app help

[Arc Adán]

So I'm trying to create an app that, for the moment, translates text to Morse code. Then it will vibrate the Morse code when a button is clicked. The translator works so far. The problem is that it does not vibrate. Instead, it show the vibrate button to be constantly pushed down after click and then freezes. I have attached my .aia code. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Use of the the search box facility at the top of the page will often produce the results you are after :)

Please search for morse code, there has been much work done on this recently on the forum

You have a wait loop in your attached procedure.

See the Waiting and Timing section of FAQ

for why you can't do that.

To time Morse code properly, queue up your dots and dashes and

do only 1 at a time.

Here's a singing speech component example using a timed queue ...

Use this page as a reference ...

You only need to queue true/false values, each item

corresponding to whether or not a unit of time should

be a vibrate or just a Clock Timer shot,

(assuming the vibrate and Timer periods are equal.)

I knew this sounded familiar.  See

Attached is a working solution,

tested on the emulator,

nice and slow.

I had a little sloppiness in the timing between dots and dashes in my earlier post.

Attached is the more accurate version.

On live testing on a tablet, I experienced breaks in my dashes,

so I updated the app to request solid vibrations

of 3 time units per dash instead of 3 consecutive vibrations.

See attached for the updated code.
