This is my first Casio, so im wundering; What kind is my fx-9860G SD? And what kind of programs are suitable for it?

[huhn_m]

we can not say exactly as long as none of the
somewhat more calc-experienced people here have one
of this models.

We suspect it to be sth. between Classpad and CFX 9850 GB+

Basic programs should be compatible with CFX 9xxx series and
AFX series (partly at least)

No binary programs are yet known to work. There is no possibility to compile them yet

Try to select a prog before.

[Andy.Davies]

Try File > Open in FA124

check out the CFX > Basic section of the File sharing then use FA123 to view the programs, and either type them in manually or transmit using a link cable

[huhn_m]

that calc is quite new.

For now you can only use AFX/CFX Basic Programs.

Simply open them using FA-123/FA-124 and send them
to your calculator.

[huhn_m]

we really need someone of the oldies here get the calc ...

[Andy.Davies]

hehe, if you are buying huhn, il have it

[huhn_m]

I just wanted to suggest that to you the other way arround ... btw. do they have students rebate?

Or they could make rebates for us admins since we do a lot of support issues for them.

That's a good idea, it's a job for CrimsonCasio, btw it's been 3 weeks since we saw him

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I can't even find a place that sells the fx-9860G SD yet! When it comes to calculators, we're quite backward here in the USA.

Go to PRGM in Menu mode.

ooookay. been there. i see nth except No Programs. but f3 shows new though. then how?

The f3 "new" is the button that allows you to create a new program, on the calculator.

i suspect you've uploaded them onto the calculator wrong, peraps you put them in to the storage memory?

OX's uploading BASICS
go into FA-124, make sure that the calculator icon is selected (not the green pen and pad)
Go file, open, open the file,
*under the computer sub window, a name of the file will appear,
Ignore it for now.

turn on you calculator, go to the mani menu, press D to enter link mode
press F4(CABL), press F1 to select USB,

connect calculator to PC, press F2 to recieve
on PC press the icon that looks like a calculator conected to a computor screen,
a loadin bar will appear,

when it is finished
click and drag (don't open it) the file name i mentioned on the *ed line,
drag it anywhere onto the words in the calculaor subwindow,
a transfer bar may appear,
click the icon that looks like a calculator conected to a computor screen, again to disconect the the calculator.

remove the cable,
on the calculator you will see a message saying tronfer complete, press exit
go in to the programs menu, highligh the program you want to start, press EXE, to start it.

if there is an error in the program, or if you press AC/on the will be a break or error message,
you will see lots of text, press EXIT, as if you change anything on this text (unless you know what you are doing) you will almost certainly ruin your program.


As to programs in the .g1r format in the file sharing area i have uploaded some programs i made for the Fx-9860G AU, also Sean Tan has converted all his CFX (.cat ) to Fx-9860G (.g1r)

the only diference between the Fx-9860G SD and the Fx-9860G, is that the Fx-9860G SD has a SD slot,
the only diference between the Fx-9860G and the Fx-9860G AU is the the Fx-9860G AU has been slowed down to qualify for use in australian TEE (terdery (university) entrence examinations for yr 11 &12)

I didn't know that. How much faster is the AU model than a CFX?

Also, you should get the admins to add your tutorial to the 'tutorials' topic.

[oxinabox]

I'm know the speed of FX-9860G, FX-9860G SD is the same,
i believed the Fx-9860G AU is slower, perhaps while they have access to the same amount of ram, the AU places a limet on the speed. {{{I assume you mean memory as in main memory or storage memory, no RAM? cos ram affect the speed plenty)

the reason for buying a fx-9860G AU, is that the other models an't useable in an australian TEE examination, and since most graphics calculators are sold for this purpose, (people who go on to university almost always keep the using the calculator they got for yr 11 and 12)
I think casio has decided not to release the other modle in australia,

thus i bought this one not because i'm cheap, (heh it cost me $AU 5 {or $US10} dollars more than the CFX, and came with about $AU30 worth of cords.) but because The others arn't sold in my country (if they are it is very limeted).

as to speed, well i had a race using a prime-number generating program, I got prime numbers over 1000 when the CFX was getting ones in the four hundereds,
when thinking about this in terms of speed, it must be considered that it takes longer to generate higher prime numbers,
even with out taking that into account, it's easy twice as past, more like 3 or four times,

i think to algorithm for solver is better than the CFX as when it almost never gets a "reset inital values of X" thing

[kucalc]

what i found the problem was that i had to delete equations out of recursion....
i dont know why but it started worked...

Lol, that's gotta be the strangest solution to a problem ever.
