synthetics and the DM41L

[Geoff Quickfall]

Whoooo HOoooo!

Made a backup of my plethora of aviation programs using PuTTY and dumping the files then copying to a text file. Reset the calculator and then restored the files confirming the serial transfer works.

Then I 'memory lost' the calculator with a reset! This so that I could create the famous Byte Grabber using Kieth Jarretts "41 Synthetic programming made easy".

Following the instructions I created the synthetic lines needed to create the famed "load bytes (LB)" program.

Late tonight so I am stopping at this point but will use the "LB" to create the Synthetic "make synthetic key assignments" program.

The calculator did freeze on a mistake by me, but reset at the back of the calculator fixed that! Started over and now have the "LB" program created.

So for those adventureous types out there here is the dump of the completed "LB" program. Just envoke PuTTY and hook up the DM41L, follow the instructions to load the dump into your calculator and you will have the "LB" program installed. Will save you time creating it!

Here is the dump for the LB program:

Soon I will post the "Synthetic Key Assignment" program so you can create synthetic key assignments!

I feel like a kid again! Byte Grabbers, Load Bytes and synthetic Key Assignment programs.

Cheers all

p.s. let me know if you are going or have used it.

Now I am tempted to flash my DM15L into a DM41L just to try this

Hi !

I'm interested in your work !
What would be cool is to have your programs integrated to the firmware and, for example, with a key combination ON+R/S you'll get everything copied in RAM to manipulated bytes and use synthetic programming.

The best would be to have a kind of "synthetic compiler" where you use mnemonics for hidden features and you get the text file to be sent to the calculator in "Serial console" mode.

Thanks for sharing!

Guillaume.

Hi Geoff,
the cool thing with the DM41/41L and its PC transfer via USB-cable is that you do not have to use anymore any byte grabbers or HP41 bugs to create synthetic commands.
Just change the HEX code in your text file on your PC, i.e. embedding HEX codes of synthetic commands, e.g. "91 7d" for "STO c", then transferring this text file via PuTTY or Tera Term (working well if PuTTy is not finding the port) to your DM41 and you have all the synthetic commands you were longing for.
(Byte table translation to be found at
http://www.hpmuseum.org/prog/synth.gif
http://www.hpmuseum.org/prog/bytetab.htm )
Of course, once you have created that Key Assignment Program, it is easier to using this instead of always typing annoying HEX codes into text files ... ;-)

Michael and David from SwissMicros have that nice nut-decoder for DM15
( https://www.swissmicros.com/nut_decoder.html ).
I hope and believe that they intend to extend this decoder to DM41 in the future. It would be really great if they also included synthetic commands to their coder/decoder syntax range. That would indeed be that "synthetic compiler" mentioned by Guillaume.
Or?
Cheers,
Werner

That's nice.
