Draw dotted log

context.move_to(x,y)
context.arc(x,y,r,0,2*pi)

Convert #RRGGBB to an (R, G, B) tuple

colorstring = colorstring.strip()
if colorstring[0] == '#': colorstring = colorstring[1:]
r, g, b = colorstring[:2], colorstring[2:4], colorstring[4:]
r, g, b = [int(n, 16) for n in (r, g, b)]
return (r, g, b)

Get the XO colors

from sugar import profile
color=profile.get_color()
fill = color.get_fill_color()
stroke = color.get_stroke_color()

DSP

Filtering using sinc

• http://www.dspguide.com/ch16/2.htm
• I will precompute h[i] for all the three ranges and apply it to all the three ranges
• I have selected fc = and M =

Scaling - for scale display, and RMS values

• I get a buffer of 16bit values (-32768 to 32768). I need to calculate the corresponding rms value of the voltage
• The correspondence between digital domain values and physical values has been found out experimentally as

v = (m/g)*(s) + 1180   millivolts

where s is a sample value ranging from -32768 to +32768 where m = .0238(i.e. slope when all capture gains are 0dB i.e. g=1) where g is the gain introduced by capture gains. There are two such gains Mic Boost +20dB and Capture Gain. Note that g IS NOT in dB.

• Also let k = m/g and c = 1180
• One option is to scale each sample in voltage domain (which would come out to be a float value) to get Rv
• The other option is to calculate RMS of all samples s, let the resulting RMS value be Rs, then to get Rv,

Rv = Rs
