HP 50g Remote Control Mode - b17flyboy - 08-15-2019 01:31 PM
Hi,
I see in the HP 50G AUR in section "Keyboard Shortcuts" there is a remote control mode described (by pressing ON and SQRT button. I tried this and saw a new symbol displayed in top right corner that look like an arrow pointing to the right. Has anyone used this mode. I have used Kermit over USB cable to send and receive data but never this "remote control" option. Appreciate any info on using this mode.
Thanks..

There's this on hpcalc.org...

Once I compiled it under Linux and it worked, YMMV.

I've just tried it myself between a HP 50g USB port connected to a Debian system, but I couldn't get past the "please press [ON]-R" prompt.
I tried it on a hp 49g+ too, with the same result. Both the 50g and 49g+ are on firmware version 2.15.
It looks like the program is trying to receive an 'S' character from the calculator when waiting for [ON]+R, but nothing seems to be received.
(Note: the ports do work with Kermit.)
