Here is an example BCH code for base32 data which adds 27 checksum
characters, and can correct up to 7 errors occurring in strings up to
length 1023 (including the checksum characters themselves):
https://gist.github.com/sipa/d62f94faa1dcfd9ee4012d4c88955ba6

It can encode sequences of integers (between 0 and 31):

ref.py encode 13 7 22 23 11 29 21 15 3 26 20 26 4 7 6 11 19 1 6 8 31 13 4 19

> d8khta40r656y8xtnpxgldyne96vsfr83uch908se82g98rmnaa

Decode it again:

ref.py decode d8khta40r656y8xtnpxgldyne96vsfr83uch908se82g98rmnaa

> Decoded: 13 7 22 23 11 29 21 15 3 26 20 26 4 7 6 11 19 1 6 8 31 13 4 19

Or correct errors:

ref.py decode d8khta50r656y8xtmpxhlcyne96vsfr84udh908se82g98rmnat

> Errors found: d8khta?0r656y8xt?px?l?yne96vsfr8?u?h908se82g98rmna?
> Correction:   d8khta40r656y8xtnpxgldyne96vsfr83uch908se82g98rmnaa
> Decoded: 13 7 22 23 11 29 21 15 3 26 20 26 4 7 6 11 19 1 6 8 31 13 4 19

The code above is just a randomly picked BCH code, and has no special
properties beyond the ones it is designed for.

I can easily generate similar code for BCH codes with different properties.

Cheers,
