Semaphore to Hexadecimal Converter
Ever tried decoding semaphore flags and felt like you're solving a puzzle without the instructions? 🤔
Whether you're a coding enthusiast, a cryptography hobbyist, or just someone who loves quirky communication systems, converting semaphore flag positions to hexadecimal values can feel like deciphering an alien language. But don’t worry—this tool is here to save the day! Simply select the positions of your two flags, click "Convert," and voilà! You’ll get the corresponding hexadecimal value in no time. No math headaches, no endless Googling—just quick, easy, and accurate results. Let’s make semaphore decoding fun again! 🚩🔢
Convert semaphore flag positions to their corresponding hexadecimal values.
How It Works
This tool uses a simple mapping system to convert semaphore flag positions into hexadecimal values. Each flag position (0-7) corresponds to a specific number, and when combined, they create a unique pair. The tool matches this pair to its hexadecimal equivalent using a pre-defined mapping table. Here's a quick breakdown:
Step 1: Select the positions of Flag 1 and Flag 2 (each ranging from 0 to 7).
Step 2: The tool combines these two positions into a unique code (e.g., "12").
Step 3: It then looks up this code in a mapping table to find the corresponding hexadecimal value (e.g., "A").
It’s like having a secret decoder ring for semaphore flags! 🕵️♂️
Quick Reference Table
Here are some examples of semaphore flag combinations and their hexadecimal equivalents:
| Flag 1 | Flag 2 | Hexadecimal Value |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 2 | A |
| 3 | 4 | 1C |
| 5 | 6 | 2E |
| 7 | 7 | 3F |
