Re: Serious damage possible by installing 3rd party products?

As a developer for the WP43 and the C47 I’ve also flashed both units tens of times without any specific issues. I’ve also had to reset the calculators a couple of times due to issues in my firmware changes (Reset button or Reset + F1) but no damage so far.

Re: WP43 Bug Reports and Maintenance

So how I would use the so-called NIM action of - >h.ms in a program that actually converts automatically input to X register? This is not obvious at all. I don’t think it’s possible. But the question for me should be how do you get a real number in h.ms form which doesn’t have the h.ms format? Rath...

Re: Best way to transfer text program listings? HP41UC?

Note that the DM42 encoder/decoder can still be used for the DM41X as the HP-42S includes most of the HP-41CX instructions. But instructions from specific extension modules are not supported.

Re: C47: ASN Menu Bug (?)

Hi, do you have a key sequence to reproduce this issue ? This will help to debug it.
Also on which firmware version do you get this behaviour ?

Re: C47 bezel available

The pie chart above is quite misleading as it shows slices by big regions but don't use the regions population as reference. For example the AU+NZ+E.ASIA slice is based only on the Australia+Singapore population, which is way less that the population including all East Asia. I understand the per cap...

I think PIXEL and AGRAPH, and LINE in Plus42, are useful in run mode, for checking parameter behavior (which I can never remember)...
I’m not sure they are very useful on Free42 with the lower half of the display covered by the menu, and the upper half with the X content.

Re: PIXEL bug?

I don’t think PIXEL and AGRAPH are useful in run mode. Their usage is really in programs, so I don’t see any issue mimicking the HP-42S here, which is btw what Free42 is aiming to ;)

Re: PIXEL bug?

When the message flags are set, the display is not updated the way it usually is after a function completes. Whatever is there, stays there. That's why the PGM.FCN menu appears to stay up when you execute PIXEL using that menu. The menu is not actually active after PIXEL returns; it just looks that...

Re: PIXEL bug?

Ok, it was not clear what was the issue for you. If I understand correctly and comparing with the HP-42S the expected behaviour is that the menu line should disappear after pressing PIXEL, and not stay on the display. This seems to be a Free42 issue : when you press PIXEL in the PGM.FCN menu or in C...

Re: PIXEL bug?

This is not a bug, what you get is a default HP-42S graphic screen of 131x16 pixel on top of the screen for compatibility with existing HP-42S programs. There are two other graphic modes available to be able to use the whole DM42 screen: 200x120 and 400x240. They are selected with the "GrMod&qu...
