Morse code clock

[Johnny Carlo] put another spin on clock displays with his Propeller-based Morse Code clock. He repurposed a tap light, using the tap function as a switch input and actuating the bulb inside with the help of a transistor. If you want to know the time just give it a tap and the device will transmit back to you in a series of flashes. This is great if you’re contemplating a career as a Navy Signalman or just need another way to practice Morse Code.

Cool concept.
I’m surprised that nobody has commented on the use of propellers in underpowered applications. This certinally doesnt make use of the full abilities of the 8 processors.
On that note maybe someone should use a propeller to build all of the clocks mentiond on HaD into one clock sculpture. 50 or so clocks in one piece . . . much better then just one overpowered clock.
