Post by rudi »

Just felt like saying THANKS to SM for the DM42, and to the people behing WP43 and C43...

I use my C43 (DM42) every day. Heres a fresh example, where I find the BASE hex/dec functionality very usefull, for configuring a vessel's MODBUS ballast tank interface between our software and the vessel's computers.

I would like to see, what You others out there are using your devices for ;-)

I was hoping for some real life images and a little history of what the devices are used for ;-)

Well, this is not usual usage, but then, a lot I do with C43 is unusual ...

Here I am illustrating to a kid how Sonar works by rigging up an oscilloscope, signal generator, active speaker, dynamic mic, measuring tape and a C43. The C43 calculated the speed of sound in my garage to be 336.8 m/s which was accurate enough for him to compute the distance to an arbitrarily placed stationary object using the mic pulses on the scope. He found it very interesting but he really did not appreciate the backwards entry of the data to work out the results ;-) I do wonder how we can interest kids in RPN or eRPN for that matter :roll: he was completely uninterested in the C43 and pulled out his iPhone ...

We might need product placement in a blockbuster movie or TV series. Or TikTok video.

Anybody got connections? ;)
