Really nice work inautilis!
Interesting comment. I generally do not "iconise" everything to make it more international, and I try keep to the HP style of keywords, but, a solution not involving either, could be to highlight Y, O, S, J and N all four white, and add a line of code to accept Y, O, S & J as yes, and N as no.

It will be interesting to see/use side-by-side with a DM43S.
Either way it is 1/0 better than my PPP attempt...
The [ENTER] and [EXIT] keys, [ON] and [OFF] labels say it: English is the language.Jaymos wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 6:58 pmInteresting comment.

Would that be too confusing? Or helpful?

This is entirely possible - we have worked hard on the key processing. Interesting that you find the arrow keys problematic, because nothing were changed in the arrow key handling. A lot in the function keys, and timers and all that though.Nigel (UK) wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 6:44 pmToday I changed to version 25. I immediately noticed that the up- and down- arrow keys, which I was using to cycle through the various HOME menus, did not always register, missing about one press in five. Changing back-and-forth between the two versions has convinced me that this effect is probably real.
I've tried version 24, and the arrow keys work fine in that. Either my imagination is over-active (entirely possible!) or something has happened between versions 24 and 25.
Ahhh. I think I understand. On the DM42 version without labels, all the labels are still there, including [.d]. Have a look in the document v48, p11.Nigel (UK) wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 6:44 pmOne other issue: according to the WP43S manual, the ".d" function is supposed to change fraction display back to decimal. It does this correctly on the WP43S simulator (on which it is a keyboard function) but it doesn't seem to work with WP43C on my calculator. (Of course I may be misunderstanding what this function is supposed to do.)
Code: Select all
1.2.3 [ENTER] renders 1 2/3
[f] [f] [.d] renders 1.666667
Code: Select all
[f] [f] [Σ+] renders 1 ⅔
I would like that, and I listed it on my todo list, I would like to have an option for that. But the list is rather full. But I do get to things on the list eventually.Nigel (UK) wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 6:44 pmOn the topic of fractions: would anyone else like to be able to enter "2/3" by pressing "2..3", rather than "0.2.3" (as on the HP32sii, for example)? (I know Walter's answer to this!)

Essential check, please make sure you have the latest DM42 software installed - the complete package which includes both DMCP and the Calculator firmware. Recently (I would have to check when exactly) we started using features from the latest Swissmicros firmware, which may cause such issues if you do not have the latest installed.
Let me know about the above, before I start on a bug hunt.
It does help thanx. A good report. I will do some bug chasing tonight.Nigel (UK) wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 10:42 pmMy DMCP version is 3.15.
I tried both versions of version 26 and both behave in the same way. After playing for a while I can now be precise about what the problem is. If I press either arrow multiple times (say five) and then press the other arrow, the first press of the other arrow is ignored. This happens even if there is quite a long delay between presses. It is the same behaviour shown in version 25; it isn't present in version 24.
I hope this helps.
It is meant to be the same. Even though the calling mechanism is vastly different for that particular function.
So far as ".d" is concerned, you are correct - g[LOG] works fine. The ".d" found in the menu reached by f[0] down-arrow down-arrow still doesn't have any visible effect: is it supposed to be the same command?
Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comments! Now that the key response is up to speed the physical WP43C is a pleasure to use. The WP43S has been adapted to the DM42 keyboard with imagination and flair - this thread is packed with good ideas.

I vote Y and N only, or none at all.
