Hmm...You mean the add-in installer from casio? You have to download it from casio's website, install it and there you go. Do you mean the add-in installer doesn't work with the fxi cable? It should, just mess a bit with the settings...

I don't know about your cable, but in my experience, the language add-ins aren't very fond of WinXP.. I had to use Win98 to get it to work

It could still be your cable though.. I use an original one, so I can't tell

Windows XP has compaitability mode. you should select the seld-extracting file then right click it. up in the tabs there will be one that says compaitability. click it then check run in compaitability mode, and choose the operating system in the combo box.

more info at Microsoft Information

:huh: The add in with Portuguese language didn't work with me in all the NT Systems i tried (Win2k/WinXP).
It works on Win95 and Win98, so it wasn't really a problem.


:angry: Just one thing: Why the ######## can't we change the com port with this program? Is it that difficult to program, or copy from other programs?????


(i think i will never get an answer) :(

There has already been a topic on this!

Look here. Maybe you'll find the information you need.


http://casiocalc.org...&t=126&hl=cable
http://casiocalc.org/casio/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=126&hl=cable

But I suggest you to buy one at e-bay. They are quite cheap. I got mine

for 12 Euros (~12$).

PS: The URL Tag don't seems to work :-(

Dude, build a cable. it ain't too expensive. well the place i bought mine the parts were dirt cheap, but if you don't spend up to $20 then that is what your shipping is. (so if you you bought 2 bucks worth of stuff, you would pay 18 dolla shipping) There are pics of the scematics for the cable at this very site.

I've build a cable too and I think good schematics are on www.casiocorner.rpd.nl

It's quite easy. Why don't you use the MAX232? I've never seen a schematic with that other IC.

if you need help, just post it

But keep in mind that the MAX chip is quite hard to get if you live in Europe :( (I don't know where you live Girn). There ar sure many different ways to build a cable.

as far as i know the original cable does not use a max. if you keep looking you will finde the schematics for the original one, i remember seeing them on different sites. maybe somebody here is able to tell you an url right away.

If you can find another chip that does the +-12v to 0-5v conversion, and it doesn't need extra capacitors, try it out and post the results back. It'll be good to get some easier to build alternatives out there, and hopefully it will still work at 115200 bps.

The inside schematic of the original Casio cable is also on www.casiocorner.rpd.nl

But there's one component very hard to get in Europe.
It's the DMOS FET SiVP 01069602.

If anybody knows where to get it, please post it.

Ok, I went to my uncles house and we tried so many times to make the cable. We tried with the max232 chip, didnt work. Tried with RCI489 chip, didnt work. We had everything set up perfectly, dont know whats wrong. I had the right 2.5 mm plug and everything. We tried the braud rate lower and higher, didnt work. We even tried to just do a direct connection!!! From calculator to computer! didnt work... So im wondering wtf is going on, my calculator is brand new. I need to know what voltage does the calculator operate on, 3.3? or 5? Thx in advance for any help.

Maybe you can tell me which schematic you used. Maybe there's a failure in it. I've build one cable with the MAX232 and it works. I've build a cable with the original schematic from www.casiocorner.rpd.nl, and it works too.
I never had to set the voltages, I made the cable, and it works.

If you give me the address of the schematic you use, maybe I can help you.

Look also at the casiocorner site (address above) and try to make the cable with the max232 (if you haven't already done so).

(Directly connecting you calc to you pc, can damage you calc!!!)

Good luck,

I have no possibility to link my calculator to PC.I bought an official cable compatible with FA122 link-program and I am using the FA123 link program..I've tried anything but the link doesn't work..I've setted the serial port as written in the instructions,I've chosen the right type of calculator in the program,but either the program and the calcultor give error messages when I try to send data in both ways...what could I do now???
Thanx.

you shouldn't need to set volatages or anything. For the record, though, the max232 circiut board (the one from casiocorner) runs on 5v.

I built it(max232) and after some initial problems (I put the chip in the wrong way), the thing worked great.

But i haven't seen any of those IC's (max232, etc) any place :( . What kind of shop did you got the parts from, and which schematic did you use?

Btw are there anyone from Norway (or nerby countries) here who knows where to get max232 (or other parts that can be used to build a cable) :mellow: ?
