FPGA Based Morse Code Communicator for Visual and Speech Impaired People using Basys-3

People with hearing and visual impairments can communicate effectively through this project. In the FPGA based Morse code, the Basys-3 board is programmed to decode a Morse code communication attempt by the impaired person. The decoded message is then displayed via a seven-segment display connected to the Basys-3 so the caretaker can understand. For individuals with physical limitations, Morse code provides a communication channel that can be used with just one or two switches. Thus, this project provides a communication tool that can be used by visually impaired individuals and those with speech impairments. In this paper, we have tried our best in making the morse code decoder system as mobile as possible considering the fact in mind that the challenged person would mostly need encoders while travelling out to meet new people and the system should be mobile and easily feasible to assemble at any location. Basys-3 being a highly effective programmable board, can effectively compile the morse inputs given, decode at a fast pace and show the output in the seven-segment display at a reasonably high speed for effective communication.
