/*
Morse Code Project
This code will loop through a string of characters and convert these to morse code. But first you have to get the password to start the morse code seation.
It will blink two LED lights and play audio on a speaker.

Set the speed of your morse code
Adjust the 'dotlen' length to speed up or slow down your morse code

Here are the ratios code elements:
Dash length = Dot length x 3
Pause between elements = Dot length
(pause between dots and dashes within the character)
Pause between characters = Dot length x 3
Pause between words = Dot length x 7
