About This Tool
Gray code, also known as reflected binary code, is a binary numeral system where two successive values differ in only one bit. This tool converts Gray code into standard binary and then translates it into its octal representation. The entire conversion process is executed client-side for maximum speed and privacy.

Fun Fact
Gray code is widely used in rotary encoders because it minimizes errors during transitions. Since only one bit changes at a time, hardware misreads are significantly reduced compared to pure binary counting systems.
Historical Context
Gray code was patented by Frank Gray in 1953 while working at Bell Labs. It became fundamental in telecommunications and digital systems engineering. Its single-bit transition property makes it ideal for analog-to-digital conversion and mechanical position encoding, and it remains relevant in modern embedded systems.
