First WP 34S R&D Meeting Central Europe
Message #1 Posted by Walter B on 15 Apr 2011, 2:50 p.m.

Hi all,
It's a great pleasure for me telling you we had said meeting in Wehrheim (next to the center of Europe ;-) today and made great progress. We increased the number of flashed 20bs in our development team by breathtaking 50% in half a day. Together we got rid of the nasty LNGamma bug. In consequence, also the COMB and PERM and FACT bugs flew away :-) Thus there is a new build on SVN. Try it out!
On behalf of the R&D division

P.S.: There will be some pictures online soon. - Oh, here they are already! Now you know how a GAWP looks like (a German After Work Party) ;-)

Great.
I reflashed and can verify that the Perm and Comb bugs appear to be gone.

Program: LBL A, INC X, BACK 01, RTN
396,508 counts in 60 seconds in floating mode.
In binary mode, 11001101011101011010101111101011101 counts in 60 seconds.
just kidding on the binary. The 396K count is a real result.

That is a better performance result :-)

These were hairy bugs indeed! :-)
I'll get a 20b soon myself. Would it be easier on the 30b? Thanks!

The 30b has a far better keyboard. Besides that, I don't know any major technical differences - the function sets will be overwritten by ours anyway :-)
