Micro:bit Morse Code Torch Kit – Build a Secret Light Messenger in 3 Hours

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Turn light into language by building your own Morse code torch that blinks secret messages. Press a button and a powerful LED flashes dots and dashes, visible hundreds of meters away. For extra stealth, the micro:bit’s built‑in radio can send your message wirelessly to a friend’s device.

What You'll Build

With this kit, you’ll assemble a handheld torch that translates button presses into Morse code light pulses. You’ll program the micro:bit to decode your taps into dots and dashes, and even configure the radio to broadcast the message to another micro:bit. The whole device clips together without soldering, so you can focus on coding and the thrill of sending hidden signals.

What You'll Learn

• Programming the BBC micro:bit with MakeCode to read button inputs and control an LED
• Building a transistor switching circuit to drive a high‑power LED safely
• Understanding Morse code timing and creating your own message patterns
• Using radio communication to send secret messages wirelessly between micro:bits
