My HP-41CV projects - _dev-null - 01-07-2019 07:24 PM Hello! I like to share my 41CV projects with this awesome community. I got two 41CV in poor condition on ebay. I cleaned the calculators, fixed the cracked posts and installed a new NiMh battery. One of them is my workhorse and the other unit sits on a shelf in the livingroom together with a HP-65 and HP-67. I don't use it as a calculator very often, instead it is my PDA, Clock and programming/experiment/fun device. It is equipped with a X-Functions Module, Clonix41, Time-Module, HP/IL Module and a 82143A Printer that is not always connected. (i need more expansion ports ) New Battery: I soldered 4 1/3 AAA GP-NiMh Batterys together with a 2 pin connector and put them in a 3D printed battery compartment. HP/IL - PIL-IO: I build the awesome PIL-IO board from J-F Garnier (thanks for developing this cool piece of Hard-/Software). The PIC-microcontroller is soldered together wit a MAX232 on a piece of breadboard. It has one RS232 connector, UART TxD/RxD and 4 I/O pins. Underneath the breadboard is a LiIon battery togehter with a step-up circuit to provide the 5V. I can charge the battery with micro-USB. The programming of the PIC controller is done with a PicKit 3 programmer. Clonix: I also build a Clonix41 module (thank you Diego Díaz for developement, i love your work). It was a bit more difficult to build the module and a programming adapter/device. I dont used a printed circuit for it. I wired the PIC-microcontroller with insulated copper wires to the module contacts. The first prototype had an external 12Mhz quarz, because i had no small one that fits into the module case. Second and final Version had a small quarz inside the module. Programming was done with a self build programming adapter and the PicKit 3 programmer. Currently it is loaded with CCD,Extended-IO, HPIL-Development and Zenrom. The next project is a new battery for the 82143A printer with a self printed battery case and some Arduino projects with the PIL-IO.

Awesome, thanks for sharing - I look forward to reading more of your projects!

With that not getting in the way it looks like parts and direct wiring have plenty of room in the shell. Nice work, ~Mark RE: My HP-41CV projects - _dev-null - 01-08-2019 02:18 PM Hello! Today i printed a new battery holder for my 82143A printer. I soldered 4 Sub-C NiMh cells together and made new battery contacts out of brass sheet. For safety i added 3 layers electrical tape between the cells and the brass contacts. Charging is done with a NiMh charger outside of the printer, because the internal charging circuit is not compatible with the NiMh battery. Printing my notes and program listings works perfect!

With both Modules loaded, the Alpha Input is not working correctly. I found a Note inside the CCD folder from the HP41-DVD: Quote:Incompatibilities: I also found a little program that does this job: LBL "TLC" 13.4 PEEKB 128 XOR POKEB CLST END Now Alpha input works!

But these things are totally overpriced $$$$ Maybe I can build one. But this has a low priority on my list |
