The key travel is very short and mushy, nothing compared to what we expect from a proper genuine HP machine or from the latest SwissMicros for that matter. On the positive side, the key registration is very reliable, contrary to what some recent HP calculators like the HPB are doing despite a positive mechanical action, the registration is not always reliable, be it because there are quality control issues or any other reason. Post: 5. It provides no tactile feedback whatsoever and the spring rate is unpleasantly non-linear, giving the feeling that the key is about to snap off at the limit of its travel.
However it responds reliably and doesn't generate double presses. I think Texas scared quite a few customers off around about the time of the TI57 and its numerous cousins rendered in similar hardware. Those were very poor units and, in the main, their leaky NiCads sent them to an early grave. Post: 6. I have something similar, the Radio Shack's version of the fxp.
Post: 7. Display was alpha only no graphics but there was a large character set. The language was not BASIC but a cleverly designed one, offering much of what to expect from a programming language. There was a hack I stumbled on accidentally some day, allowing to have both steps and the max number of memory simply said, the pointer to the end of the program area or the beginning of the memories area was set to an impossible value which gave "god mode" and unprotected access to the whole memory from either perspective.
Needless to say, you could be overwriting programs with the content of some memories, which unlocked hidden functions and characters such as percentages, imaginary numbers and probably more.
You could also very easily lose access to the already written programs, so this was to be handled with great caution. The next models were a crippled version without a real programming language, just some "function definition" capability, or buffed up versions with more memory and display lines, but more massive already, which made them less convenient to keep in a shirt pocket.
Then the graphical calculators came, but they were too bulky and contained too much useless crapware for a comfortable use outside a classroom. They could remake it the same size, with maybe a retrolit keyboard and 2-line screen allowing some pixel-level access, as well as the possiblity to read a keypress without waiting for a ENTER, some good memory amount and a SD Card reader, without sacrificing the convenience of a keyboard allowing ALPHA entry, and it would be great.
There is a CASIO fx-FD10 "pro" model which comes very close to this, but they committed the sin of getting rid of convenient access to Alpha entry mode, as well as most key 2nd functions, in favor of a confused menu system.
Plus, it stinks of truck wheel rubber Incredible! Although I was quite disappointed when I discovered programming on the go is made very inconvenient, I won't resell that one, but I do hope there might be an update in the right direction some day.
Post: 8. I just got this wonderful calculator, but the front panel is little loose on one side. I wonder, is the front attached with screws? Post: 9. How do i get steps? What must i type in to get this? Post: In my opinion it is far better than the P it replaced. Fortunately the P is affordable unlike the P and easy to find.
It is rare to get a non working one - the last I bought at a charity store - but its weakness resides in the front bezel that often detach. They seem readily available on eBay, including some listings with the operations manual.
I may get one for nostalgia's sake. I had a P back in the day. I bought a few years ago for very cheap a NOS P, which is the with more memory and programing step and I found it excelente, built quality, functions etc. A superb calculator. As for "I'm the operator on my pocket calculator. Cheers JL. Not the only one. Cheers Thomas. By pressing down a special key It plays a little melody:. Casio VL - Kraftwerk music.
Maybe its an urban myth? I think it was an FXP. I have two workable units, one of them in perfect condition, the other is my daily used machine for calculating dawn-sunrise-noon-sunset times for my location. Both of them has the problem with contrast: typically the contrast set is OK, but sometimes goes too poor and sometimes too dark, but the battery is new.
Have you got any idea how this is fixable? Another question: the second unit is arrived this Monday and really like a new but as I can feel the bracket [ ] [ ] keys response is poorer than others. I will clean the unit inside, my question is between the keyboard foil and PCB is it required to clean or that will kill the contacts? Is it possible to clean the foil itself? What is the right cleaning liquid?
Well, here is the url of a website where you can download manuals for just about every model of casio graphic calculator. We really have to make a FAQ now.
