and Micro QR Codes according to ISO/IEC 18004:2015(E). Aside from other Python QR Code generators, Segno provides a lot of output formats without 3rd party dependencies and is very simple to use. Contents: CONTENTS 1 Segno Documentation 2 CONTENTS CHAPTER ONE QR CODE CREATION FROM THE COMMAND LINE The command line script segno can be used to print QR codes to the terminal or to save them in supported formats like SVG, PNG, EPS, . By default, the script does not create Micro QR codes, use --micro to allow the creation of Micro QR codes or specify the version (like --version=M3) to create a Micro QR Code. See the CLI man page

  • ANSI Escape Code "ANSI Code" Redirects Redirects Here. for Other
    ANSI escape code "ANSI code" redirects here. For other uses, see ANSI (disambiguation). In computing, ANSI escape codes (or escape sequences) are a method using in-b and signaling to control the formatting, color, and other output options on video text terminals. To encod e this formatting information, certain sequences of bytes are embedded into the text, which the terminal loo ks for and interprets as commands, not as character codes. ANSI codes were introduced in the 1970s and became widespread in the minicomp uter/mainframe market by the early 1980s. They were used by the nascent bulletin board system market to of fer improved displays compared to earlier systems lacking cursor movement, leading to even more widespread uu se. Although hardware text terminals have become increasingly rare in the 21st cee ntury, the relevance of the ANSI standard persists because most terminal emulators interpret at least some ofof the ANSI escape sequences in the output text. One notable exception is the win32 console component of Microsof t Windows. Contents * * 1 History * * 2 Support * * 2.1 Windows and DOS * * 3 Sequence elements * * 4 Non-CSI codes * * 5 CSI codes * * 6 Colors * * 7 Examples * * 7.1 Example of use in shell scripting * * 8 Invalid and ambiguous sequences in use * * 9 See also * * 10 Notes * * 11 External links History[edit] Almost all manufacturers of video terminals added vendor-specific escape sequ ences to perform operations such as placing the cursor at arbitrary positions on the screen. One example is th e VT52 terminal, which allowed the cursor to be placed at an x,y location on the screen by sending the ESC c haracter, a y character, and then two characters representing with numerical values equal to the x,y locat ion plus 32 (thus starting at the ASCII space character and avoiding the control characters).

  • AVR Interfaces: SPI, I2C, and UART
    Serial Interfaces: SPI, I2C, UART Demystified Bruce E. Hall, W8BH Objective: learn how to use SPI, I2C, and UART on your AVR microcontroller. 1) INTRODUCTION It took me a long time to get here. I’ve used various flavors of AVR microcontrollers, writing to them in assembly, C, and Arduino “wiring/processing”. For some reason, I always avoided using the built-in serial communication hardware. Often I used someone else’s serial library. Sometimes I emulated the protocol using GPIO pins. But eventually I realized that using the built-in interfaces isn’t difficult after all. Here is my collection of quick-‘n-dirty serial interface routines. This is all hobby-grade material: no fancy objects, no long list of initialization options, or interrupt-driven code with ring buffers. But follow along, and you’ll be able to use the serial hardware with minimal fuss and minimal code. At the end I’ll use the UART and I2C interfaces in a small RTC project. 2) SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI) At its core, the SPI algorithm is very straightforward: Put a data bit on the serial data line. Pulse the clock line. Repeat for all the bits you want to send, usually 8 bits at a time. You must set the microcontroller’s SPI control register (SPCR) to enable SPI communication. This is an eight-bit register that contains the following bits: SPCR = 0x50: bit 7 bit 6 bit 5 bit 4 bit 3 bit 2 bit 1 bit 0 SPIE SPE DORD MSTR CPOL CPHA SPR1 SPR0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 The first bit on the left, SPIE, enables the SPI interrupt and is not needed for this application.

  • Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM) PREFACE
    Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM) PREFACE This book documents how to develop programs using the Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM), Release 2.0. It is intended for use by programmers who are expe rienced with Common Lisp and CLOS programming concepts. This book is useful for a programmer writing CLIM 2.0 applications on any Lisp platform, but includes some material that is specific to CLIM on Genera and Cloe. Organization This document has these major parts: "What is CLIM?" Describes the roots of CLIM 2.0, gives a technical overview of it, and compares it to Genera’s Dynamic Win dows. "CLIM Tutorial" Gets you started developing programs in CLIM with ex tended examples that you can run. This section introduces the important concepts of CLIM via these examples. "CLIM User’s Guide" Provides conceptoriented reference documentation cover ing topics in more detail than the Tutorial. The chapters in the User’s Guide also include summaries of functions, classes, macros, etc., which are documented more fully in the Dictionary. "CLIM Dictionary" Provides detailed reference documentation of CLIM func tions, classes, macros, and so forth, in alphabetic order. You can use the CLIM Dictionary when you need to know the syntax and semantics of a particular CLIM operator. "Glossary of CLIM Terminology" Provides a description of many CLIM terms. How to Use This Book Start with "What is CLIM?" for background information and a technical overview of CLIM. When you are ready to start programming, proceed to the "CLIM Tutorial", and experiment with the examples. Code for these examples can be found in the direc tory SYS:CLIM;REL2;TUTORIAL;.

  • ANSI Escape Code - Wikipedia
    11/12/2017 ANSI escape code - Wikipedia ANSI escape code ANSI escape sequences are a standard for in-band signaling to control the cursor location, color, and other options on video text terminals. Certain sequences of bytes, most starting with Esc and '[', are embedded into the text, which the terminal looks for and interprets as commands, not as character codes. ANSI sequences were introduced in the 1970s to replace vendor-specific sequences and became widespread in the computer equipment market by the early 1980s. They were used by the nascent bulletin board systems to offer improved displays compared to earlier systems lacking cursor movement, a primary reasons they became a standard adopted by all manufacturers. Although hardware text terminals have become increasingly rare in the 21st century, the relevance of the ANSI standard persists because most terminal emulators interpret at least some of the ANSI escape sequences in output text. One notable exception was the Win32 console of Microsoft Windows before Windows 10 update TH2.[1] Contents 1 History 2 Platform support 2.1 Windows and DOS 3 Escape sequences 4 CSI sequences 5 SGR (Select Graphic Rendition) parameters 6 Colors 6.1 3/4 bit 6.2 8-bit 6.3 24-bit 7 Examples 7.1 Example of use in shell scripting 8 Invalid and ambiguous sequences in use 9 See also 10 Notes 11 References 12 External links History Almost all manufacturers of video terminals added vendor-specific escape sequences to perform operations such as placing the cursor at arbitrary positions on the screen. One example is the VT52 terminal, which allowed the cursor to be placed at an x,y location on the screen by sending the ESC character, a y character, and then two characters representing with numerical values equal to the x,y location plus 32 (thus starting at the ASCII space character and avoiding the control characters).
