Architectures: Classic AMIGAs, FS-UAE, Linux-Mint, OSX 10.15.7.
---------------------------------------------------------------
MINIMUM Requirements Are:-
--------------------------
1) Amiga environment:-
68030 CPU, MMU and COPRO. 6MB RAM total, OS 3.1.x.
(It might work on OS 3.0.x if you are lucky.)
FS-UAE.
Standard OS 3.1.x install or better.
Full Python 2.0.x, minimum, installed, (full install on AMINET).
https://aminet.net/package/dev/lang/Python20
(WinUAE has NOT been tested but should work OK.)
(I no longer have Windows so this is untested too.)
2) Apple OSX 10.15.x and higher from Python 2.7.x to 3.10.1.
3) Linux Mint, 21.2, Python 2.7.x to 3.8.x.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
History:-
---------
12-12-2021.
-----------
Version 1.10.00. Now works from Python 2.0.x for the AMIGA, AND, as of the
release date, to the current version 3.10.1 WITHOUT
modification. The FFT core is slightly quicker too.
21-08-2018.
-----------
Version 1.00.10. Modified to work on any platform from Python Versions
2.0.x to 3.7.0, (current as of the above date).
(DLs as of 11-12-2021, 1634.)
20-07-2017.
-----------
Version 1.00.00. Probably the one and only upload for this archive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
General:-
---------
(Apologies for any typos, etc...)
'FFT_AMIGA.py.txt'
This is the simplest implementation of a basic FFT function for the
Classic AMIGA. Because the old tub has only got Python 2.0.1 maximum and
no 'numpy', 'scipy' or other complex mathematical and scientific libraries
at its disposal then after much research, learning and jiggery pokery I
came up with this. The ONLY library/modules required is the builtin
'cmath' and 'sys'. No other dependencies or modules are needed at all,
just the default Python 2.0.x installation from AMINET.
Slowish? Compared to today, yes, but remember, the AMIGA A1200 has not got
simple FFT capabilities that it can lay its hands on within an ordinary
scripting language. One can adapt C source to handle basic FFT and I tried
it but the ease of writing with a scripting language took a hold of me,
and this is the result. It is still quite fast though even with its
limitations.
OK, enough of the waffle. If you are in need of a very basic FFT function
just download 'FFT_AMIGA.py.txt' and save it inside your PYTHON: volume.
Rename the file to FFT_AMIGA.py and you are ready to roll.
From the AMIGA Python20 prompt enter:-
>>> execfile("PYTHON:FFT_AMIGA.py")<ENTER>
OR...
>>> exec(open("PYTHON:FFT_AMIGA.py").read())<ENTER>
For all Python versions.
Finally, the code has all the values expected commented out as a
comparison for your system and current hardware with their versions of
Python.
Read the code for more information...
Enjoy...

Testing Evaluation:-
--------------------
FS-UAE and Classic AMIGA test conditions were/are running standard
OS 3.1.x and using standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout. The minimum
hardware requirements ARE needed however.
I have no idea what strange configuration setups will create so refer
to the ~The Legal Stuff~ above.
