Here's a few more pictures of the Morse code translator, starting with some outside shots. We bought some gears thinking we would be making something else, but when that didn't work out, we decided we needed to use the gears for something. Now our enclosure looks like one of those things you used to make in Kindergarten by gluing macaroni to stuff...
More pictures after the break...
There is a menu system that lets you adjust the timing and backlight level. The two buttons in this hole are used to navigate it. We wanted to stick them on top, but we couldn't find a way to mount them.
The slightly shiny thing inside the hole is a photoresistor. It is used to automatically adjust the screen's backlight brightness as seen in the second video here.
The top layer of the enclosure where the force sensor and LCD screen are mounted. This whole thing is literally held together by cardboard and duct tape.
Inside the box. The circuit is pretty simple since the Arduino microcontroller does all the work.
