try this:

fill(0,25,25)=>A
A[21,5]=>B
Print B

it has some serious speed problems... (btw: casio tells me they fixed that particular problem)

Did they say thay some fixed problems will be release in the OS update :clap: , Crimson, or only in the next model of ClassPad :banghead: ( maybe ClassPad 300 Plus or ClassPad 400 - just my guess :greengrin:

I hope that the reason of the 4MB of add-in area is that they would make new releases of the OS, not release a new model (like the 3 or 4 AFX models). I hope... :unsure:

I have a nice suggestion.
To be able to rotate your screen so that you have more horizontal space, for exsample graphing.
I almost forgot, a soft button to switch between radian en degree mode

4. Be able to view a graph (and possibly completely use the calculator by pen) sideways so that the height of the screen is used for width.  It gives some more room when needed.

Yes, that would solve one of the problems I mentioned in my last post. Also it would be nice because I think that sometimes the keyboard is in the way when using the pen.
And the display...well I love my Classpad but sometimes when I look at this "Mirror-Display" I get realy :motz:.

You're right guys, i told to my friends the last week when we were studing, that the classpad is like a mirror. Sometimes its too difficult see the results of operations etc... Maybe its due by the protector.

It is annoying.  I bought a pocket viewer some years ago, and it had the same 'feature'.  About once a month, I would back it up on my PC, take out the batteries, and clean the screen.

I don't read here a lot, so that's why my quote is late.
The Pocket Viewer has the option to disable turning the unit on by touching the screen (I 99% turn it on by tapping the screen with my finger, since I use it for reading long books, I hate to pick out the stylus and start moving it).
And I use it to clean the screen, search in the CP300 options, it might just have it.
Another idea is like what we have in PV, some people simply made BASIC language programs that doesn't do a thing when the screen is touched, and you could quit the loop by pressing the keys.
It is called the cleaning program, you turn it on and tada!

I think the ClassPAD has the potential ability to do several engineering and scientific functions that don't seem to be supported right now, they are such as:
matrix operation with prametric elemnts.
doing Laplace nad Anti-Laplace transformation.
solving the systems of differential equations.

if the CP300 does this, Me and all my friends will buy it immediately

It doesn't say wich version so... I got some ideas
color tft screen
regagargeble Li-ion battery-pack
if you could imagine away everything below the big blue button
maybe bluetooth
24 bit color diplay
more graphical power, so you can render a lot of polygons plot a 3d prapg 50 by 50 :clap:
add your own backgrounds

perhaps this would be the ClassPad 600
way more expensive :unsure:

>judge ( (4a+4b+c)/4 = a+b+c ) returns Undefined (it must be false)

If c = 0 then the equality is TRUE but if c <> 0 then it's FALSE. So, not knowing what c might be, a reliable answer can't be given, so 'undefined' sounds OK. If you add |c=0 or |c#0 you'll get TRUE and FALSE.

(# stands for not-equal-to)

I would like to see a list iterator.

It's pretty clear that the classpad traverses big lists slower than short lists (which leads me to believe they are implemented in some sort of linked list / binary tree structure.. )
If we could obtain an iterator for traversing the lists in sequential order, this should be alot faster

I wouldl like that the classpad, when finish some operation (like a large sum), mades a "beep" (and the user can activate/desactivate this function). This is because when i'm doing by example an exam, i watch my CP every 5 seconds for see if the operation is finished (sometimes the classpad take a long time for solve some kind of operations).

Am I not seeing this anywhere in the manual, or has the Classpad no way of entering and displaying binary and hex numbers?

On the TI89, one can enter 0h1234 (hex number) or 0b1010 (binary number). I personally prefer Motorola style syntax $ for hex and % binary because they are shorter to type but any reasonable syntax is OK as long as the ability is there.

If hex / binary math is possible on the ClassPad someone please let me know how.

A suggestion now:

On a clear line (main and calculation lines in eActivities), entering an operator can immediately add the ANS infront of it (like on the TI and many other calcs). So, typing X3 should be converted to ANS*3 (it saves keystrokes, taps, etc.)

For the moment it can convert number for any base (2-...) to any base (2-...) , if it's stored as a list

It will also be able to convert strings for any base (2-36 or 62) to any base (2-36 or 62)

Well i'm not sure but i think that there is a bug in the classpad manager using Switch~Case in big programs. I do a program with a menu using switch-case, then in one of the options i use others switch-case sentences but when I tried to save that programs syntax error appear. I watch the program and the syntax was ok, yesterday i copy from my CP manager the complete switch-case and paste it on a IM conversation with Overlord, then he tried that code on him calculator and no problem.

I erase that switch and put a bunch of If's <_< , i never find a solution for that error. And i had the same problem 2 times in different places of the program.

A totally revamped keyboard. I personally think that the ClassPad keyboard layout is horrible. The buttons are horribly oversized and could be made smaller for other keys such as a dedicated sine, cosine, tangent key. I also believe that a major flaw of the ClassPad keyboard layout is how the plus, minus, divide, and multiply symbols are laid out all in a single row. I do a lot of math and I like the traditional Casio layout of the symbols in a little 2x2 matrix. It makes more sense to me and less finger movement from key to key when you do a lot of math. That and it makes it more Casio like and less Ti like.

I also like to see a basic calandar program and a little digital clock to tell the time like the HPs.

Also, perhaps two divisions of the ClassPad model. One geared towards the education market (with all of those hands on applications) and one geared towards the technical market.

-beep on end of calc

a handy way to undo everything you've done since you last turned off the classpad is execute this command: Line Undefined,Undefined,Undefined,Undefined it will cause an error and the time lapse effect will occure.

I would like that casio release some programs for the AFX. I would like programs for maths like "Z transformed" (i dont know if its the correct translation) like the HP's. Also casio said that the Schip8 would be available in October and we are on January.

Happy new year !!! :rolleyes:
If you want maths basic programs for the AFX, I think this site contains some:
http://www.casio.com...cation.programs
If you have FA 123 cable, you can use it to connect your AFX to the computer and send programs. I dont have, so I have to type by hand. ;)

About Schip 8 ( for ClassPad 300 ), although it has been done long time, Saltire cannot send it out because Casio didn't release Add-ins loader, which helps you to send Add-ins application to your ClassPad. (right? :) ). We all hope they will release it soon.

If anyone could tell casio that they should release a Macintosh and / or a <{GNULINUX}> version of the Programlink software, it'd be great : a lot of people in education don't use Windows. ;)
Otherwise, I'd like the differential equations bug to be fixed (if you don't know it, try to type "dsolve(y=ay+b,y,x)", it will crash...).

Hi.
I haven't studied about differential equations yet, so I have a very very little knowledge about it.
As the equation you wrote, I think it is "y'=ay+b,y,x", right?
Did you try this in OS version 1.00? If so, it will crash. I tried in the new version, 1.20. It didn't crash, just appeared an Error table: "Wrong Argument Type", then I tried dSolve(y'=ay+b,x,y), and then solve for y. All are OK without crashing. :)
