Re: HP35s / RPN Calculator Simulator in Excel / Java? Message #2 Posted by Arne Halvorsen (Norway) on 21 Aug 2007, 4:28 p.m., in response to message #1 by Thomas Chrapkiewicz
I am not joking...
I am trying to write one right now (java) as I type (well not *exactly now*...).
And my reasons are yours! Thing is, I got ideas for HP35s programs, not gonna have it for months it seems, so need simulator...
Well, writing simulators are tedious stuff... AND to get it right you need very exact documentation and time to study it... I dont have that :-(
So my approach is to *try* write a generic rpn hp calculator with the stuff I need for my programs AND try to match it according to what I can understand of the machine by online doc.. (HP, anytime now would be ok for that manual pdf to be posted).
Propably fail, but if not will put stuff up as open source...
What as a simulator/emulaotor wannabe would like would be a database of hp calc operation normalized by name, brand and description (exact) operation.
Well, nuff posting, back to hacking...
