My infrared Morse transmitter *should* be working. I have had so many issues getting it live. Things that were fine suddenly not being fine. Then a control character mysteriously appearing in the Morse message, crashing the software. I've simplified the circuit as much as possible to a Raspberry Pi Pico and a Solid-State relay module. I *think* the module will be pulsing the light but can't be certain til tonight when I get up the ladder to have a look. I have two Morse modules set up and ready to go. Only one is installed.

If all else fails and nobody notices the message then I shall redo the light unit using some of the on-sale-after-christmas LED light strings to pulse the Morse message but in the shape of a giant penis on top of the shipping container in the back yard. That should get attention!
