Dillon and Daddy with the torch!

2010-03-10T14:52:00.000-08:00

They let Dillon join be for the back stretch were it wasn't crowded.

Bell Team out in force!

First Arduino Sketch - USB/LED morse code generator

2009-11-09T07:10:00.000-08:00

I recently got a Duemilanove - of course I wanted to try it out, but all my "bits" are in storage while the basement is renovated. So, what is something interesting that only uses the built-in LED and the USB serial interface? Decided to try a morse code generator with adjustable delays to match the proper WPM timing.

//what to do when you only have the builtin led and usb and all your other bits are in storage
//morse code of course!
// set pin numbers:
const int ledPin =  13;      // the number of the LED pin

int incomingByte = 0;
char buffer[1025];
int buffercount=0;

// the follow variables is a long because the time, measured in miliseconds,
// will quickly become a bigger number than can be stored in an int.
long interval = 240;           // interval at which to blink (milliseconds)
int wpm = 5; //stabdard is how many time paris is sent in a min.  Paris is 50 dots durations using standard timing

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  // set the digital pin as output:
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);     
  buffer[1024]='\0'; 
}

void dot()
{
    digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
    delay(interval);
    digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
    delay(interval);
}
void dash()
{
    digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
    delay(interval*3);
    digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
    delay(interval);
}


void dotdash(char *s)
{
  Serial.println(s);
  for(int i=0;i<5;i++)  //5 as morse has 1-5 ._ per letter
  {
    if(s[i]=='\0')
    {
      break;
    }
    else if(s[i]=='.')
    {
      dot();
    }
    else if(s[i]=='-')
    {
      dash();
    }
  }
  delay(interval*3); // intra-char delay
}

void morse(char letter)
{
  Serial.print(letter, BYTE);

Edgett Family Tree

2009-11-07T12:30:00.001-08:00

The following is an extraction of my family tree showing 5 generations of decendents of Joel EDGETT (b 1740). I have also added place holders for my Grandfather (6th generation), my father (7th) and myself (8th). Information for the three of us is restricted for confidentiality.

Joel EDGETT and his two sons came to New York as British Empire Loyalists. They latter took land and settled Edgett's Landing in the coast of New Brunswick on the Bay of Fundy. Several years back I drove through New Brunswick and found the street sign depicting where the village of Edgett's landing used to be. I am still attempting to trace back further then Joel EDGETT. I have found references to a changes of name from ADGET or ADJET or ADSIT to EDGETT. I have also found the following possible lineage:

Parents of Joel Edgett: George ADSIT/ADGET/EDGETT, m. Ann AVERY (No Dates)

I am not sure about these:

Parents of George ADGET: John ADJET/EDGETT, m. to Mindwell WEBB (No Dates)
or

Parents of George ADSIT/EDGET: John ADSIT, m. Sarah HOWARD (1686)

If anyone has found information linking Joel Edgett to any previous generations of EDGETT / ADGET / ADJET I would certainly love to hear from them.
