I have no serious experience with programming calculators but a couple of weeks ago I was struck with the idea to get one and the only brand I know is casio.

Initially I was opting for an fx fd10 pro due to its rugged features to use in the field, but as it was way expensive to get one in Europe I opted for an fx-5800P.

 

I intend to write some code for aviation calculations (e.g. wind triangles, altimetry etc.) You can get apps in your smart phone to do this, I know but hey I am an engineer.

Hopefully I can rely on all you guys for support in the future.

Hey, I thought I'd join this forum as I enjoy playing with the circuitry of the Casio fx calculators. I'm trying a few things at the moment:

 

• Extract the screen of one of the calculators, and use it an another project
• Execute arbitrary code on the calculators, or access debug/dev features

Neither have been particularly successful so far but I'm still learning about the circuitry of the calculators. Any knowledge that anyone has on either of these would be brilliant!

(also, how this username wasn't already taken is beyond me.)

The add-ins I make are written in C, since I don't know assembly yet, but it is on my to-learn list.

 

Potential Calculator Programming Goals (for fx-9860GIIs):

- Learn SH4 assembly and create a fast and stable grayscale emulator.

- Make a calculator 3D rendering engine, with grayscale. Someone's already making it for a TI-calc.

- Connect the calc to the internet.

- Make another SDK for linux, with an emulator and syntax highlighting.

- Make an online emulator.

Welcome, Viliami, Salvo0777, and frankmar98! Good to see we still have quite the international userbase.

 

For our linux users, what's you're favorite distro?  I've used Fedora for a long time, but I'm using Arch on my current desktop, and I have to say the AUR is amazing.

[frankmar98]

I like debian based distros, my favorite one is puppy linux, perfect for my old pentium 4, and Dell Mini 9, also I use Debian on my Raspberry Pi model 1 B, and lubuntu in my old Core 2 duo laptop.

 

When I was 14 years old, I learnt programming in C, with Puppy Linux, and GCC, in a Pentium 4 with 512 MB of RAM and broken hard disk (I used a pendrive to install linux).

I am currently using Centos 7 but I like Ubuntus package manager a lot more.

It's so much easier to find and install things with it.

[Forty-Two]

I am currently using Centos 7 but I like Ubuntus package manager a lot more.

It's so much easier to find and install things with it.

I've had the opposite experience. I find it much easier to just do 'dnf whatprovides' instead of mucking about with apt-cache. Though I do agree the GUI in *buntu is much better than Fedora's default gui. I don't tend to look for software in the gui any more, really. I either know what I want already, or I will just google for it.

[flyingfisch]

What exactly don't you like about apt-get? I never had an issue with it, and it seemed to work pretty well for anything I needed. I never use the GUI btw.

[Forty-Two]

What exactly don't you like about apt-get? I never had an issue with it, and it seemed to work pretty well for anything I needed. I never use the GUI btw.

For a few reasons, really. It's not cleanly split into separate binaries like pacman or dnf are; you need to use apt-get for somethings and apt-cache for others. That should really be abstracted away so you only need to remember one commands. Additionally, it doesn't actually uninstall packages by default; you must use apt-get purge for that and not just apt-get remove. It is also very hard to see how much progress is left in your install or w/e because it tends to be obscured by how verbose apt-get is. Admittedly, it is good to have some diagnostic info for the admin so they know what changes the may need to do manually, but it is difficult to sort everything out. I think pacman has the best balance here.

[flyingfisch]

Hmm, that's interesting. Firstly, I'm pretty sure modern Ubuntu versions only require apt-get, I've never had to touch apt-cache. Secondly, apt-get remove removes the actual binaries and stuff, the only thing it doesn't remove are config files, which I think is a good thing. Are there instances where this would be a problem?

Hobbies: Vintage calculators (Sharp, Casio, Texas Instruments, etc), - years ago ;-) in my youth also skiing (i am Austrian)

 

 

I like casio calculators, especially cfx, afx, and the 9860 models. Fine design, powerful mathematical capabilities, light weight (can put them easily into the pocket). Very helpful for easy calculations, quick data analysis, mathematic (esp. matrix) algorithm prototyping, etc. You can learn new mathematical methods with their help.

 

greetings to the community, W.

[frankmar98]

Welcome to UCF, everyone!

 

Vintage calculators are awesome, to find in a second hand local market a CFX-9970G (the unique CFX with CAS) or a fx-201P is a wonderful feeling.

 

I study Chemistry at UAM, and Casio CFX / 9860G series are marvellous to put into the lab coat pocket to help you with data analysis in experiments.

I had write a program for CFX series to find the error in the parameters of regressions, this is esstential because every magnitude given by a scientist must be exact, but in real world experiments it can't be exact, so you have to give the error.

 

But for really complex calculus like solving Schrödinger equation of a system by an ab-initio method, we need PCs, if it is possible 64 bits, multiple cores, a lot of RAM and Linux.

 

WolfgangK, your collection is very cool!

Where you got your username: I always use it. It is my programmer's acronym

 

I like the fx calculator because it is very easy to write a small program. It is more adequate for a handful of formulae instead of a C++ compiler or so: The transition from pocket calcuator typing to a programm is straightforward, all variables are ready to use.

I simulate mostly physical problems with the calculators (I have two of them), at least I make the first steps of such a simulation.

 

I like the environement which Casio gave us: The FA-124 and the emulator.

​My motivation for registration was to report an error in FA-124.

Hi everyone, my nickname is foroplus and love all programmable calculators, especially those who can be coded in BASIC or other high-level languages.

 

Own http://basic.hopto.org which I try to complete and refine without great success cause I never have enough time.

 

Glad to have a site like this forum to share info with you all.

Welcome everyone to UCF!

 

Let's keep the forum alive. I encourage you to post. (interesting things).

 

piu58 welcome to the UCF! I agree fx-9860G series are nice calculators for programming, and also for academic life.

 

I'm a photography hobbyist, I like traditional photography, but I don't have space for developing although I own an enlarger (Meopta Opemus 6a), waiting for the long term future when I'll buy a house, I'll practice medium format B+W photography with a Mamiya RB67 or similar, today I'm shooting with a Canon 5D classic.

 

Celelibi, welcome to UCF! A Graph 25 is a nice calculator, but it is factory limited, probably, you'll enjoy more a high-end calculator, I prefer high-end because they're also cheap. France is the paradise of Casio calculators.

In France you buy a Graph 90+E really cheap, an you'll love it.

But every Casio graphing or programmable calculator is nice.

 

foroplus, welcome to UFC!, your page is awesomely fantastic. I enjoyed the article about repairing calculators. I think that most of Casio calculators, have a outstanding quality electronics, so probably a Casio calculator without flash memory and without mistreat will last forever (more than 50 or 100 years), I would like to see in 50 years the flash memory quality of fx-9860G series. Because I will be 69 years old, and I would like to keep programming mine.

 

I repaired my CFX-9970G, because screen was not showing image well (a lot of lines). I dissasembled it, and assembled it again, and it was repaired.

The fact that I really like math does not mean that I am particularly good at it. I'm pretty good at algebra since I teach elementary and intermediate algebra at my local community college, but math in general does not come easily to me.

 

I very much enjoy using technology as it applies to math, particularly calculators. I've been exploring Casio's fx-115ES calculator. It has amazing capabilities, especially considering that it only costs about $13 at Walmart. I always recommend it or the fx-300 to my algebra students. I also have an interest in the free math software packages, R and GNU Octave.

Hello world.

Now that that time honoured programming intro is out the way its time to pwn the Casio fx-9750GII programs lists with my own crayons (since the creations are quite amateur).

The Casio FX-9750GII is a masterpiece of ancient TECHNOLOGY WELL OVERDUE AN Update!
A design revamp to fit the EX 991 FORM FACTOR with the same styling and a carbon fibre effect sliding case cover and solar power would be massively useful. With the power source of 3×CR2032 in parallel to power it in low light would be a hugely popular form factor adjustment. Changing the USB from 2.0 micro to USB 3.2 nano port would also improve physical compactness.

The addition of a more robust BASIC interpreter that is compatible WITH linked instruction set of Microsoft VB would encourage software engineers of tomorrow to build portable programs more useful on a handheld device and begin a trend of Casio apps in a Casio TechStore like Google Play store and Apple's App store. This idea would revolutionise the use of simple calculators for more than just regular calculations and open them to greater use applications.

Additional hardware modules like WiFi and BLUETOOTH, SSD and data cable transmission units that connect via the USB 3.x port would allow versatility on a single platform. Creating modular physical RAM memory units to upgrade memory processing abilities and modular Clip & Play CPU upgrades to provide processing power for different uses would put the device in a cult niche comparable to Raspberry Pi.

... but the Casio Fx-9750gii is what it is and we can only dream up programs and functions limited to hardware and OS capabilities and my tiny contributions are to inspire a cult market of ingenuity, innovation and alienate reality from an era of fading technology whizzkids looking nostalgic at the keys of a humble calculator of a bygone age.
