Arduino Hello World by Morse code

gistfile1.c

// From http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,43903.0.html#10

byte text[] = "Hello World";         // Transmittet text

// Morse code generator for the Arduino
// Transmitted text is placed in the first line
// Tempo sets the speed of a dot etc.
// Morde code was tanken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code
// Text is looping and prior to transmitting the active pin blinks rapidly
// Version 1.0, made by Fletcher Chr

}
