Solution: MiniDSP requires 32-bit little-endian float coefficients. Ensure your Python script uses '<f' packing. Also, MiniDSP expects exactly the number of taps defined in the project. Truncate or zero-pad your FRF taps.

import struct binary_data = struct.pack('<f', eur_amount) # little-endian float

with open('output.bin', 'wb') as f: f.write(binary_data)

---

For unknown or mixed formats, write a Python script:

import sys
with open(sys.argv[1], 'rb') as f:
data = f.read()
# If data is text like "FFAABB", convert hex pairs
if all(c in b'0123456789ABCDEFabcdef \n\r' for c in data):
hex_str = data.decode().replace(' ', '').replace('\n', '')
binary = bytes.fromhex(hex_str)
with open(sys.argv[2], 'wb') as out:
out.write(binary)
else:
# Already binary-ish – just copy
with open(sys.argv[2], 'wb') as out:
out.write(data)

Run:
python frf2bin.py yourfile.frf output.bin

---

If you are familiar with MATLAB or its open-source alternative Octave, here is a concise conversion script:

function frf_to_bin(frf_file, bin_file, precision)
    % frf_to_bin: Convert FRF text file to binary BIN
    % precision: 'float32', 'int16', 'int32'
% Read coefficients
coeffs = load(frf_file);
% Convert to single precision float if needed
coeffs = single(coeffs);
% Open binary file for writing
fid = fopen(bin_file, 'wb');
if strcmp(precision, 'int16')
    % Normalize and quantize
    max_val = max(abs(coeffs));
    coeffs = coeffs / max_val;
    coeffs = int16(coeffs * 32767);
    fwrite(fid, coeffs, 'int16');
elseif strcmp(precision, 'int32')
    max_val = max(abs(coeffs));
    coeffs = coeffs / max_val;
    coeffs = int32(coeffs * 2147483647);
    fwrite(fid, coeffs, 'int32');
else
    fwrite(fid, coeffs, 'float32');
end
fclose(fid);
fprintf('Saved %d coefficients to %s\n', length(coeffs), bin_file);

end

Call it with:

frf_to_bin('filter_coeffs.frf', 'filter.bin', 'float32');

If you simply need to strip headers:

---

#!/bin/bash
inotifywait -m -e create --format '%f' /input/frf_folder/ | while read frf_file
do
    if [[ $frf_file == *.frf ]]; then
        python3 frf2bin.py "/input/frf_folder/$frf_file" "/output/bin_folder/$frf_file%.frf.bin"
    fi
done
