IVEE and IVEE7 (DIY calculators)
Hello all!

I proudly present IV and IV7 - probably the best RPN calculators I have built so far.

They are based on arduino hardware (avr atmel328) and are programmable (900 steps, FORTH-like).
While IV has an OLED-display IV7 tries to represent numbers and text (yes that's somehow possible) on an 8-digit-7-segment-display.

Wow, very cool little calculators!

I wonder why you went from a graphic display in IVEE to a 7-segment display in IVEE7. Seems like a step backwards.

In any case, I'm amazed at how much functionality you packed into those tiny devices. What's your next project?

It depends. IVEE7 is cheap and simple. The board costs less than $1.50 (includes wired connectors) and an Arduino Micro (clone) costs approximately $2.50. So basically IVEE7 can be (home-)made for less than $5 (without soldering).

So separate from the plotting function IVEE7 lacks in some comfort (ie commands abbreviation with 2 letters), but has the whole range of functions of IVEE - and offers an additional matrix section.

First I want to improve the code of IVEE and IVEE7. While porting the code I found some bugs and improvements in the original code.

If I had one wish free - I would wish to have IVEE as a (cheap) buyable product on the market with a good hardware quality (like HP calculators). A credit card sized gadget like the Arduboy (with 16 keys) would be very charming.
But that's far beyond my capabilities.
