Figure 58 - Game controller with accelerometer and pushbutton…
The red wire connected to VCC on the accelerometer goes to the same row as ground. I expected it to go to the same row as the 3v3 power supply.

Thanks for the great book!

On line 83 of smtp_service.h, you put
“client.println(”Disconnecting.“);”
but it should be
“Serial.println(”Disconnecting.“);”

Thank you very much for your report! This will be fixed in the next version.

In the section “Email Directly from an Arduino”, in the second sentence, you have an extra “create”:
“the networking code, we’ll create create something more advanced”

Thank you very much for your report! This will be fixed in the next version.
74ERROR

Replacing the LED code in the output_symbol method with the ‘tone’ code creates the tone but with inconsistent spacing between characters.

This code produces better sounding Morse code:
void Telegraph::output_symbol(const int length) {
const int frequency = 131;
tone(_output_pin, frequency, length);
delay(length); // Let the tone play out
noTone(_output_pin);
}

I think you meant something like this. It just wasn’t clear to me how much of the method I should rewrite.

Gary: Thank you very much for this improvement!
