Swiss Micros and WP34s...

RE: Swiss Micros and WP34s...
Looking a bit closer to my DM16L, I think transfering something near to the WP 34S to SwissMicros' HW platform might be possible.

As always, the LCD is the crucial element. According to SwissMicros it features a dot matrix of 132 pixels horizontally times 16 pixels vertically. If we'd keep the numeric output at the bottom like in the WP 34S, and use a 5x9 pixel matrix for a digit in the mantissa and 4x7 for a digit in the exponent, then a 12-digit signed mantissa plus a 3-digit signed exponent are easily displayable with nice group spacing. The annunciators necessary take up to 45x5 pixels top right. That leaves 86x6 pixels for alphanumeric output top left - twice the space available on the HP-30b. Smile

The Voyager keyboard offers two keys more than the HP-30b, so there will be no major problem with the WP 34S keys. Wink

What do you think?
