In my experience, a 4x5 key module gets you into the comfort zone for a basic scientific calculator but the only low-cost, readily available keyboard of this configuration that I have seen is a self adhesive membrane unit, which makes for a quick build but offers very poor usability. I wanted to build an Arduino based RPN calculator entirely from stock sub-assemblies but not be restricted to the ubiquitous 4x4 Arduino tactile keyboard. I have turned out a little project to reawaken this thread with.
FREE42 TRIG FUNCTIONS DISAPPEARED SERIAL
Right now, the OLED display is held up at the docks but I have plenty more coachwork tasks to complete and a battery compartment to construct.ĭespite the way it looks in the last picture, I would say that 85 percent of the job is done, given the 15-20 hours spent getting a labelled keyboard up and running on a serial console test script. The attached pictures show the calculator's construction method and soldering nightmare. The result is, I reckon, aesthetically satisfactory and it is ok to use if you were able to get along with a TI59 back in the day. I took the best 36 of these to populate the keyboard and made doubly sure that they all fired at the click before I committed them to epoxy cement. I ordered up 50, 12x12 mm tactile PCB switches of a type which feature a 6 mm deep extended actuator.

Making a satisfactory keyboard is the hard part. A four-line OLED display, coupled with the clean-sheet ergonomic design of HP's original machine, looked like a route to building something that would be nice to pick up and use. It does not store any personal data.I decided that I would have a shot at building a functional clone of an HP35.

Swiping the LCD left or right performs these operations. * Added Undo and Redo functions for the stack.

* Added hi-rez (retinal) key pad image for iPhone 4 * Compatibility with iOS4 including application switching and compatibility bugs * Program mode can now be scrolled with the menu active. * Added option to remove device status bar for a larger LCDĪdded additional lines to LCD modes, now supports up to 6 lines of stack, or 7 lines of program. * Added DROP command, executed by doube tapping the back key * Added option for no stack lift on Enter. Choose between the traditional (X, Y, Z, T) style stack, or a fully dynamic stack. * Added option for a dynamically sized stack.

* Tap LCD in alpha entry mode to toggle the display of the iPhone keyboard. * Display last x register in the upper right hand corner of LCD * Double tap print output view to copy print contents * Sound tones mimic those of the original HP-42S * swipe LCD vertically on the right hand side to roll stack contents, or to scroll a program in program mode. * Double tap LCD to cut and paste one or more numbers from the stack, or paste one or more numbers to the stack * Swipe LCD vertically to get up to 7 lines of display. * Runs several orders of magnitude faster then the original calculator, including program execution, solving, integration, matrix operations, etc… * Use the iPhone keyboard for entering character data, or variable names. * Internally stores values and performs operations in 25 digit decimal precision. Packages are available for additional functionality including Engineering, Scientific, Financial, Statistical, etc. Additionally, several enhancements have been made over the original calculator such as additional precision and the ability to import and export programs. This calculator provides all the functionality of the original 42S with several hundred functions, programability, printer output, etc. There are no ROMs or emulators involved allowing 42s to run natively and fast. 42s is an iPhone port of Thomas Okken's excellent and stable Free42, a complete re-implementation of the highly praised HP-42S RPN calculator.
