Instructions for using the 8BitDo Micro Remote with ANKI on MacOS

Using the 8BitDo Micro Remote with ANKI

The 8BitDo Micro remote is ~$25 and can be used to gamify your studying. The Micro is bigger than the Zero 2, but smaller than the SN30 Pro.

See controller image below

The controller comes with preset keybindings to buttons, which don't automatically work with ANKI. So, through the use of a key remapping software, you’ll update how your device interprets the keys!

Tips for modifying PDFs and saving images.

Modifying PDFs

PDFtk has a command-line tool for working with PDFs. It's fantastic for saving out single pages or combining files.

Ghostscript also has good features for PDFs, including being able to reduce the file size while preserving links and bookmarks.

Potential energy surface graph with matplotlib

PES Graph

The Python3 script in this gist will render a reaction path along a potential energy surface (PES) in 3D.

It should work with Matplotlib 1.5.0 and newer (i.e., the script was first written based on mpl 1.5.0).

If a residue doesn't do what you would expect, it may be because Chimera named it differently.

Common Image Needs -- VMD, PowerPoint, and ImageMagick

Higher-Quality Images

TIFFs are great because they retain image layers (which makes them decently editable). PNGs offer lossless compression and allow you to have transparent backgrounds. JPEGs/JPGs are lossy and have their uses, but you're better off avoiding them if you can.

Saving Powerpoint Images with Higher Resolution

PNGs exported from PowerPoint have 72 DPI resolution, which is not ideal for publication. Instead, export the image file as a PDF.
