Re: Pixels leaking?

I baked the board without the battery face down in a plate in the oven at 75 degrees for 5 hours, which fixed the problem. Thanks!

Re: Pixels leaking?

No, I keep the calculator on my desk, neither temperature nor pressure should change here.

On the other hand, the dots do look like the ones in the other thread. I'll try baking my calculator tomorrow.

Re: [DM15] Hammurabi Strategy Game

I do wonder if anybody but myself actually played this. The print was downloaded over 150 times, did anybody complete their 10 year term?

Pixels leaking?

Yesterday morning, I found some weird black dots on my calculator's display. It looks like the pixels are leaking (It's definitely on the pixel layer, not on top of the glass). What is going on here?

Are the calculators magnet-proof?

Hi.

Can I keep the calculators next to regular magnets (e.g. refrigerator magnets)? I understand that a hard drive or floppy disk would be problematic because they store data magnetically, but do the SwissMicros replicas contain anything that could be affected?

Thanks!

Re: nut_decoder for DM11 has troubles with flags?

Also, the decoder displays DSE as 42 28, while the calculator shows it as 42 5.

nut_decoder for DM11 has troubles with flags?

This code turns out very wrong, I suspect it's because of the flag stuff. Try encoding and then decoding it for the DM11 ENTER LBL A 1 F? 0 GTO 6 R_down ENTER Output looks like this, containing commands that the DM11 can't even execute like register arithmetic? STO÷ 7 GTO 0 STO× (i) STO- 5 ??? ??? E...

Re: J language?

While I’m waiting for my DM42 to arrive, I was wondering if anyone had ever thought about porting a subset of [J](http://www.jsoftware.com/) to the DM42 hardware? J is a direct descendant of APL that uses ASCII characters, plus some additional features. I have the J app on my iPhone but it would ma...

Re: any chance of a new font?

Hard to tell how it would look. That looks like 7x7? The font I prefer on the DM15L seems to be 9 high x 5 wide, with space between the numbers that might allow wider chars? On the DM15L, the font seems to be 7x9, while the C64 font fits into 7x7. The main difference is that on the calculator, &quo...
