Hi all, I think Pavel's suggestion is a good idea, I'm starting to write another trigger named Morse code trigger. I prefer to keeping this burst trigger and add another Morse code trigger for different application. But I know the Morse code trigger will be the super set of the burst. Say the patten ... Morse code is same as the 3 times burst blinking. Anyway, after I finish that trigger, let community to decide which one will be adapted, or both. Any suggestion about the new Morse trigger, please let me know. Thank you Pavel.

Only issue maybe is not easy to called by program.
