• find_the_beep

    Description

    The objective of Find The Beep is to create a dynamic grid where letters “B”, “E”, and “P” are placed randomly, while avoiding the word “BEEP”.

    Inspiration

    This was inspired by the book

    Find the Fox: An Almost Impossible Word Search by Alex Cheddar.

    The book presents a unique 240-page word search using only the letters F, O, and X, where the only word present is “FOX”. The challenge and creativity in reducing the puzzle to three letters and one word inspired me to create a similar minimalist puzzle concept with “BEEP.”

    Usage

    1. Open the webpage.
    2. Enter the desired number of rows and columns (minimum 4×4).
    3. Click “go” to generate the grid.
    4. Observe the grid ensuring no BEEPs are formed.

    Project Origins

    My original version of Find The Beep was created using Python. I developed an Excel-based solver with VBA to scan and ensure that the sequence “BEEP” never appeared in the generated grids. The transition to JavaScript allowed me to bring this to the web, where users can interactively create grids and visualize the results.

    VBA find_the_vba.txt

    Code Method

    • Grid Generation: Dynamically creates grids based on user input.
    • Conflict Avoidance: Utilizes directional checks to prevent specific sequences.
    • Retry Mechanism: Automatically retries generation if conflicts arise.

  • sound_generator_tool

    ## Description

    The Sound Generator Tool is a simple web-based application for generating basic sound waves using the Web Audio API. Users can choose between different waveform types (Sine, Square, Sawtooth, Triangle), control the frequency (from 20 Hz to 2000 Hz), and adjust the volume. Additionally, it includes a code generation feature that outputs JavaScript code reflecting the current sound settings.

    Features

    • Waveform Selection: Choose from four waveform types: Sine, Square, Sawtooth, and Triangle.
    • Frequency Control: Adjust the frequency between 20 Hz and 2000 Hz using a slider.
    • Volume Control: Modify the output volume (gain) between 0.0 and 1.0.
    • Play Sound: Play the generated sound immediately.
    • Code Generation: Generate JavaScript code based on the current sound configuration.

    Usage

    1. Select the desired waveform from the dropdown menu.
    2. Adjust the frequency and volume using the sliders.
    3. Click “Play Sound” to hear the generated sound.
    4. Click “Generate Code” to produce the JavaScript code for the current sound settings, which will be displayed in the output area.

  • ssd1306

    This project allows you to visualize and generate pixel art for the SSD1306 OLED display using MicroPython. Instead of manually calculating the position of individual pixels on a 128×64 display, this tool provides a graphical interface where you can click on pixels to toggle them on or off. After creating your pixel art, the corresponding MicroPython code will be generated for easy copy-pasting into your project.

    ## Features

    Grid-based pixel editor: A 128×64 grid where each cell represents a pixel.

    Pixel toggling: Click on grid cells to toggle pixels on/off.

    Code generation: Generate MicroPython code based on the active pixels in the grid.

    Copy code: Quickly copy the generated code to your clipboard for use in your MicroPython project.

  • data_compare

    Tool created using JavaScript and HTML to streamline the process of comparing two columns of data. The tool allows users to paste data into two separate columns, apply customizable character removal options, and then, with the click of a button, instantly identify missing and extra entries between the columns.

    How It Works

    Paste Data: Users paste their data into the designated input areas for the first and second columns.

    Customize Comparison: Users can choose to remove a specified number of characters from the beginning and end of the data in each column.

    Click “Compare Columns”: With a simple click of the button, the tool processes the data, compares the columns, and displays the results in a clear and organized manner.

    This tool is particularly useful for tasks involving data reconciliation, such as comparing lists, databases, or any scenario where quick and accurate data matching is essential.

  • barcode_generator

    Welcome to the Barcode Generator!

    When users type and press either the ‘Tab’ or ‘Arrow Down’ keys, additional fields appear for more input. Upon hitting ‘Enter,’ a printable page is generated with the entered data, but in barcode format. Users can print and scan it with a handheld scanner. If users wish to scan data into the fields, ensure your scanner is set to ‘Tab’ or ‘Arrow Down’ to navigate the fields correctly. I’ll provide a scannable sheet to configure Datalogic scanners, and 123Scan software from Zebra should cover other popular device, but always consult your devices manual for guidance when adjust any settings.
