Hello,

Can anybody tell me where to buy programmable portable calculator,
preferably in BASIC?

Where abouts are you? I think TI, HP and Casio all make them.

Why not write Basic programs on your PC? Programmable calculator
programs are limited in function and clumsy to use.

I haven't programmed a calculator in decades, not since the HP9100.

I am wanting to use the calculator in flight of ultralight and it is
difficult to use a computer on board

I am wanting to know which the programmable calculators found now..

Tks

So how can you comment on modern designs, when you've only used decades
old technology? :)

Depending on the complexity of the program, I'd get a TI84 ot TI89. Both
can be programmed in basic. The HP line offer a 'basic' that really
isn't much of a basic at all (no GOTO for instance). Dunno about the casios.

No BASIC, but I like HP48/49 calculators. 49G+ seems rather good with SD
card support. And RPL is easy, anyway.

The HP71 and 75 could be programmed in BASIC.

I believe BASIC is also available for palm pdas.

I bet none of them do file I/O, or big arrays, or accept input from
other programs.


In basic? I don't think so. If you want to use C then I think they all do.

No, really, the 32-bit versions of PowerBasic can do gigabyte arrays,
huge programs, TCP/IP, BIOS/API calls, all that good stuff.

And you'd want to do those on a calculator because...? :)

I wouldn't. Calculators are for arithmetic, computers are for
programs.

A PalmOS device would be a *far* better choice for your application.

And you can run them on a PC104 system with a serial LCD and a
custom keyboard that is designed for your application, and it
will be about the size of a top-end calculator.

You can get an IBM PC like circuit on a card about the size of a PCMCIA
card.

But it won't run off of a pair or CR2032 batteries through a couple years
normal usage now, will it? :)

We're thinking about doing a benchtop instrument with a PC104 CPU
(geode or something) inside and a small color VGA on the front panel.
We'd program it in PowerBasic, booting off flash. Should be fun.

One of my retirement-list projects is to manufacture a clone of the
HP-35 calculator, with some little cmos uP inside. The hard part would
be getting the keys to feel right.

"EasyCalc" is a good free programmable calculator available for PalmOS
devices. There are a few languages for the Palm, notably python, if you
need more than simple programmability.

If you want to _connect_ it to your ultralight, you could get an older
RS-232 based device (Ebay?) -- might be easier than USB.

Not unless you can use the CR2032s as fuel for a fusion reactor.
