1) Connect the 13th digital pin on the arduino to any of the numbered rows of the breadboard *In the image it is connecting to Row 5
2) Connect one of the GND pins on the arduino to one of the negative rails (-) of the breadboard
3) Connect the LED anode (longer pin) to the same numbered row as the wire running from pin 13 of the Arduino - Plug the cathode (shorter pin) to an adjoining row. *In the image it is row 4
4) Connect the resistor from the ground rail into the row that the LED cathode is connected to

Code the Arduino to transmit a Morse Code message
Use lots more output and wait blocks to create a Morse Code message with your arduino and LED.
A dot is normally about 500 milliseconds and a dash is 3 times as long as the dot or 1500 milliseconds
between each word should be a pause 7 times as long as the dot or 3500 milliseconds
between each letter of the word should be a pause of 3 times the dot or 1500 milliseconds
between symbols (dots and dashes) of the same letter is a pause of 500 milliseconds
