After the first draft of this project, I decided to look deeper into Morse Code... a kind of "operation Nostalgia"

I used to know it (at some level...) when I was a child playing with walkie-talkie and then CB radio.
But I never knew the complete theory of that (never passed, nor needed to, Radio Station exams).

So, I discovered that the "timing" of my "A" in Wire Searching Tool are wrong.

Theory says that "a line last like 3 dots; space among letters is as long as a line". Thus, a more correct version of the Morse Code generator is as follows:

Code:

  MorseCodeTable:     dt  1,0,0,01,1,1,00,0,0,00,0,0,0 ;    dt  101,1,10,0,0,                                    ;    .-        ;'ADPM' :-) ;    dt  1,1,101010,0,0,                        ; -.. ;    dt  1,01,1,101,1,1010,0,0,        ; .--. ;    dt  1,1,1,01,1,10,0,0                                        ; -- ; dt "pad fino a 32 o 64"



I supposed you'd be interested in this
Needless to say, the Wire Searching Tool works correctly as previously released.

Good point, Dario. Thank you for fixing this. I know Morse code pretty well (Rx 100 char/min) and I must say that bad timing is very annoying! It's like listening to a bad drummer!
