Simple Text Mode Digital Oscilloscope Graphics DEMO. (Python)

2014-01-21T19:07:49-08:00

Python recipe 578812 by Barry Walker (apple, demo, graphics, linux, macbook_pro).

This is a DEMO to switch a *NIX terminal from text to _graphics_ mode on the fly.

The graphics characters are limited to lowercase 'a' through 'z' and this DEMO just prints a small subset to see what a fun, kids level, 8 channel Logic-Analyser/Digital-Oscilloscope might look like.

This may not work in every *NIX style terminal but does work on default terminals using bash on OSX 10.7.5, PCLinuxOS 2009 and Debian Linux 6.0.x.

Tested on Python 2.5.x to 3.3.2 on the above platforms... (It might work on earlier versions of Python but untested.)

A DEMO to show how to write text into the Python terminal Title Bar... (Python)

2013-09-17T17:55:53-07:00

Python recipe 578662 by Barry Walker (apple, bar, cygwin, demo, linux, macbook_pro, title, title_bar).

This DEMO is show how to write some text of your choice into the Title Bar of the Python terminal window.

Firstly it imports "time" just for this demo so that a simple time delay can be generated. Next the Python terminal window is written to for the 5 seconds of delay; see code. And finally the Title Bar is restored to normal...

Design by contract on python vanilla (Python)

2013-11-05T20:50:30-08:00

Python recipe 578767 by Alan Cristhian Ruiz (demo, design_pattern, productivity). Revision 2.

The code below is an example that shows that we can do design by contract in python without any non-standard module.

DEMO - Generate A Crude 1KHz Sinewave Using A BASH Script. (Bash)

2013-03-01T19:41:47-08:00

Bash recipe 578477 by Barry Walker (audio, bash, demo, generator, linux, shell, sinewave, sound).

A very simple crude sinewave generator using a BASH script inside a Linux Terminal.

The file required is generated inside the code and requires /dev/audio to work.

Ensure you have this device, if not the download oss-compat from your OS's repository...

It lasts for about 8 seconds before exiting and saves a 65536 byte file to your working directory/drawer/folder as sinewave.raw.

Use an oscilloscope to check the waveform generated...

It is entirely Public Domain and you may do with it as you please...

DEMO Kids Level Python RF Attenuator... (Python)

2013-02-09T10:21:39-08:00

Python recipe 578451 by Barry Walker (apple, attenuator, audio, demo, linux, macbook_pro, rf, sound, windows).

This code is a DEMO RF Attenuator for SW listeners.

(The code is to show how to generate the same waveform in each channel but in antiphase, as bridge output. The RF Attenuator is just a byproduct...)

The circuit has an insertion loss of about 10dB at full gain but that doesn't matter as it IS an attenuator after all.

It is another learning tool for kids to build and code for themselves.

The only common user I/O on desktops, netbooks, laptops and current MacBooks is/are the Audio Mic and Ear sockets...

This goes for "mobiles" too...

The circuit inside the code is so easy a 10 year old could have a working unit inisde 2 hours to experiment with...

PyAudio IS needed for this to work and although originally designed around a MacBook Pro 13 inch OSX 10.7.5 and Python 2.6.7 has shown itself to be near platform independent...

A DEMO To Show How To Expand A Standard Python Terminal On The Fly... (Python)

2012-12-17T12:47:14-08:00

Python recipe 578383 by Barry Walker (apple, campimeter, demo, linux, macbook_pro, size, terminal, window).

This code shows how to open up a default Terminal running Python to tha maximum allowed on the _desktop_. I decided on writing code to do a crude emulation of a Campimeter. Anyone who has worn spectacles for a long time has had this test done at the optician's. Originally written for a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.5 but also tested on Debian Linux 6.0.x. READ the code for more information!!! This code WILL alter the size of the Terminal window AND changes the colours too, although it is very easy to return back to the default state it is NOT included in the code... I EXPECT professionals to know how to doo that.

Before running Python inside the Terminal ensure the Terminal window is at the uppermost left hand corner of your desktop...

I needed the maximised Python Terminal for something else but this was the easiest way to demonstrate ho to do it through Python...

Written so that kids can understand what is going on...

Position The Cursor Almost Anywhere Inside Standard Text Mode Python Terminal. (Python)

2012-06-17T17:10:29-07:00

Python recipe 578167 by Barry Walker (amiga, apple, cursor, demo, e_uae, linux, locate, macbook_pro, winuae).

A DEMO showing the power of the ANSI (ASCII) _Esc_ codes in standard text mode Python.

ANSI _Esc_ codes here:- http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm

There are only three important things from the ANSI _Esc_ codes that are needed to obtain a neat finish to a program written in standard text mode Python:-

1) Clearing the screen. (Already done without the dedicated ANSI _Esc_ code!)

2) Colours and other character attributes. (Already done!)

3) A forced printing of a character or string from a given location inside the Terminal window.

To clear the screen does NOT require another dedicated ANSI _Esc_ code, (although it exists). This code uses the print("\r\n") method which works in all cases coupled with the one function supplied......

A Shell, Binary To Hexadecimal To Decimal Demo... (Bash)

2013-01-11T18:31:03-08:00

Bash recipe 578413 by Barry Walker (apple, bash, binary, decimal, demo, hexadecimal, linux, macbook_pro, shell, terminal).

This little DEMO may be common knowledge to the big guns but not to amateurs like myself, so......

This is an Apple Macbbok Shell/Terminal DEMO shell script to show how to:-

1) Create a binary file... 2) Save it to your DEFAULT /directory/drwawer/folder/... 3) Display a hexadecimal dump of said binary file to prove that it is binary... 4) Select a single BYTE of that file and save it as an ASCII text decimal _number_, also to your DEFAULT /directory/drawer/folder/... 5) Read this ASCII text decimal number back in again... 6) Add this string representation to a number... 7) Stop...

It was intended purely for OSX 10.7.5 and above using the default terminal and shell...

It does work on many Linux flavours and shells/terminals also however.

Written so the anyone can understand what is going on.

The two files generated and saved in this DEMO to your DEFAULT /directory/drawer/folder/ are:-

BinaryString.dat BinaryString.txt

This WILL lead to something very unusual in the not too distant future...

Platform Independent White Noise Generator... (Python)

2012-11-25T10:10:45-08:00

Python recipe 578350 by Barry Walker (apple, audio, demo, generator, linux, macbook_pro, noise, program, pyaudio, signal, sound, source, windows).

This code is a derivative of the Pure Sinewave Generator and produces a continuous noise out of the speakers or headphone sockets.

It is for the hobbyist to be able to generate a pseudo-random noise signal for testing with.

It is issued as Public Domian and you may do with it as you please.

It is very easy to convert to Python 3.x.x but as OSX only has 2.7.x and lower ATM then these are what are used...

An installation of pyaudio IS needed for this to work; see the code for more information.

It is near platform independent but sadly the AMIGA is not included, but hey, I have already shown how generate sound for Classic AMIGAs.

Python recipe 578301 by Barry Walker (apple, audio, demo, generator, linux, macbook_pro, program, pyaudio, signal, sinewave, sound, source, windows). Revision 2.

IKHz_SW_OSX.py

A mono _pure_ sinewave generator using standard text mode Python 2.6.7 to at least 2.7.3.

This DEMO kids level 1KHz generator is mainly for a MacBook Pro, (13 inch in my case), OSX 10.7.5 and above. See below...

It is another simple piece of testgear for the young amateur electronics enthusiast and uses pyaudio fully installed for it to work.

PyAudio can be obtained from here:- http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/pyaudio/

This was primarily for a MacBook Pro, but works on at least 2 Linux flavours and Windows Vista 32 bit...

The sinewave generated is near excellent...

Well here is an August 2012 vintage MacBook Pro 13 inch version of it for OSX 10.7.5...

This is proof of concept code for a kids level project I am doing for a MacBook Pro, 13 inch, OSX 10.7.5. A DEMO to show how to display a waveform using standard text mode Python. "pyaudio" must be installed for this to work. Levels are set using the standard audio mixers, (System Preferences -> Sound).

Just whistle a signal of say 300Hz to 3KHz, (normal voice spectrum), using say, the internal mic, and watch a waveform appear inside the X-Y graticule.

Read the code for more information.

This code is GPL2, but, the hardware information is Public Domain.

(I am looking into including Windows and Linux variants too using pyaudio to access the sound system.)

For AMIGA-Heads Only. Poking A HW, (Memory), Address On A Classic AMIGA, Inside Text Mode Python. (Python)

2012-09-09T19:25:00-07:00

Python recipe 578255 by Barry Walker (amiga, demo, e_uae, hardware, memory, poke, winuae).

For AMIGA-Heads Only...

This code is purely for a minimum of a stock Classic AMIGA A1200(HD), E-UAE, and WinUAE running AMIGA OS3.0x to 3.1x. It will NOT work on any other platform!

(It MIGHT work on AMIGA OS3.5x and 3.9x with Python 2.4.6, but totally untested and I hold no responsibility for the outcome when trying it.)

It is a DEMO to poke a byte inside _ANY_ memory address inside the standard CPU 68EC020 16MB boundary.

This is not a function nor a class but just a DEMO to show how to write directly to HW, (or memory), addresses.

POKING memory or hardware addresses is not recommended for novices without studying the machine first, and, this code will ignore any _ENFORCER_hits_.

I experimented with this several years ago and have decided to finally release it. I do await the flak!

It works from Python Versions 1.4.0 to 2.0.1 for the classic AMIGA.

This is issued as Public Domain and you may do with it as you please.

Ensure that the T: Volume exists on the running machine.

Flash_N_Fade Using Standard Text Mode Python For Linux And Windows... (Python)

2012-07-15T18:38:43-07:00

Python recipe 578216 by Barry Walker (audio, demo, fade, flash, linux, sound, windows).

This DEMO shows how to fade text in shades of grey and also flash with inverse_flash along with simultaneous differing frequency beeps.

There are 2 code snippets that WILL need to be separated before use. One is a Linux version and the other a Windows 32 bit version. There is an AMIGA version but that is for much later.

There are NO notes inside the code so you will have to see the code as to how it works. It is SOOO simple that notes are/were unnecessary...

2012-05-18T19:30:04-07:00

Python recipe 578139 by Barry Walker (audio, demo, linux, metronome, music_accessory, sound). Revision 2.

This DEMO code is a simple metronome for the Linux platform. It is for newcomers to playing musical instruments as a timing unit for practicing with.

It is issued as Public Domain and you may do with it as you please...

The device /dev/dsp IS required for this to work. If your machine lacks this then install oss-compat from you distro's repository.

It exploits a flaw in the default /dev/dsp device inside linux...

The part of the code the uses Ctrl-C to exit a loop has a flaw. This is not a bug. I will let the big guns explain what is happening if they want to in the comments section.

2012-06-06T17:16:27-07:00

Python recipe 578160 by Barry Walker (amiga, demo, e_uae, function, generator, linux, windows, winuae).

This code auto-generates a function that converts a string to bytes only in Python Versions 3.x.x. The function will NOT be generated in Python Versions 1.4.0 to 2.7.x. See the code for all the versions tested on. Inside the code are commented-out lines to show a practical usage for this and WILL be used in future /dev/audio or /dev/dsp access that I may develop...

Markov Encryption Demonstration 2 (Python)

2012-03-14T17:39:17-07:00

Python recipe 578076 by Stephen Chappell (demo, demonstration, encode, encoding, encrypt, encryption).

This program is meant to act as an example of how to use ME with data that needs to be obfuscated. The functionality provided via the GUI demonstrates both the ability to encrypt and decrypt all text that the UTF-8 encoding can handle. Explanations come later.

Pure Fun For Text Mode Python... (Python)

Markov Encryption Demonstration 1 (Python)

2012-03-16T18:59:06-07:00

Python recipe 578062 by Stephen Chappell (demo, demonstration, encode, encoding, encrypt, encryption).

This is a simple GUI program that shows Markov Encryption at work. It is built to be interactive and has all needed code embedded within itself. This version of ME library is not very efficient and represents an early attempt at developing and easily testing the code. Certain limits are built into the program, and the code is not meant to be robust at this stage. This program is a proof-of-concept design meant to ensure that the work being done was viable for future use and that the encryption process could be carried out both ways, both in encoding plaintext and decoding ciphertext.
