Summary

Noam Zomerfeld, a design student at California College of the Arts, built a rudimentary telegraph using Arduino and Twilio to demonstrate basic communication systems. He created a Twilio number that interfaces with an Arduino to translate text messages into morse code, which is then tapped out by a traditional telegraph. The setup allows anyone to send messages through the old-school system, making it a unique means of communication. Noam's project showcases his interest in understanding how basic communication systems work, and his creative approach to repurposing old technology with modern tools.
