Morse Code Encoder

This is a simple GUI application to encode text to Morse code using Python and Tkinter.

Features

• Encode text input to Morse code
• Display encoded Morse code
• Handles letters, numbers, punctuation and special characters
• Simple Tkinter GUI with entry field and encode button

Code Overview

The code consists of:

• MORSE_CODE_DICT - Dictionary mapping characters to Morse code
• convert_to_morse() - Function to encode text to Morse code
• Tkinter GUI code - Simple input field, button and result label

Morse Code Dictionary

The MORSE_CODE_DICT contains the mapping from characters to Morse code sequences. It supports letters, numbers, punctuation and some special Spanish characters.

Encoding Function

The convert_to_morse() function takes the input text, loops through each character, looks up the Morse code in the dictionary and concatenates them into a string separated by spaces.

Tkinter GUI

The Tkinter GUI is made up of:

• msg_label and msg_entry for the text input field
• encode_btn button to trigger encoding
• output_label to display the encoded Morse code

The encode() function is called when the encode button is clicked. It takes the text, converts to Morse code using convert_to_morse() and updates the output_label.

Usage

Run the Python file and enter text in the input field. Click the "Codificar" button to encode the text to Morse code. The output will be displayed below.

Installation

Requires Python 3 and Tkinter.

pip install tkinter
