/* Arduino morse Encoder
 *  
 *PS2Keyboard library example
  PS2Keyboard now requries both pins specified for begin()
  keyboard.begin(data_pin, irq_pin);

  Valid irq pins:
     Arduino Uno:  2, 3
     Arduino Due:  All pins, except 13 (LED)
     Arduino Mega: 2, 3, 18, 19, 20, 21
     Teensy 3.0:   All pins, except 13 (LED)
     Teensy 2.0:   5, 6, 7, 8
     Teensy 1.0:   0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 16
     Teensy++ 2.0: 0, 1, 2, 3, 18, 19, 36, 37
     Teensy++ 1.0: 0, 1, 2, 3, 18, 19, 36, 37
     Sanguino:     2, 10, 11
