💡 Project Motivation

MicMasterFlex was born out of challenges encountered during the Robots as Furniture project at Brown University Human-centered Robotics Initiative, where configuring a microphone array for sound localization required precise positioning of multiple microphones.

Given the complex arrangement, writing down positions manually without a visual guide proved inefficient and error-prone.

MicMasterFlex addresses this by offering an interactive, visual interface to configure microphone positions on a grid, making it easier to plan and visualize the array layout.

Additionally, the tool generates the necessary numpy code for these positions, streamlining the setup process for audio processing and sound localization tasks.

📋 Prerequisites

In order to run the project locally, you must have Bun runtime installed.

💾 Installation

🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

/
├── public/
│   └── favicon.svg
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   │   └── Card.astro
│   ├── layouts/
│   │   └── Layout.astro
│   └── pages/
│       └── index.astro
└── package.json

Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.
