Morse code with flashlight

Any ideas on how to implement morse code with the flashlight? The problem I'm currently running into is that it's not possible to "wait" half a second between switching modes on the flashlight... I was thinking of implementing something with System.Timer, but I'm not sure it's the best approach

    I think this would be very cool. Yes, I think the System.Timer would be the best (and only) approach. I think it would be cool to see the final product if you end up releasing it to the store!

    You can't just spin and wait it that to change.  The watch dog could kill your app.

    You might want to look at using Toybox.Timer and set a one-shot for the time you need for a dot, dash, and gap so you aren't looping.

    But you might want to use a continuous one as you probably want it for things like updating the display, etc
