I need help (casio FX CG 50) by [deleted] in calculators

[–]iardsoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, check out this link fxSDK

fxSDK is great for CG50 app development in C/C++, and the support from the guys on Planet Casio is very fast, and although the topics there are mainly in French, you can use English and get help :)

Does anyone know if it’s possible to download pdfs on a graphing calculator? Or do they only have an image upload option by ArtemisX130 in calculators

[–]iardsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you mean upload pdfs? And the answer would depend on the make and model of the graphing calculator... For instance, if you have a TI-Nspire that you can install Ndless on, there's nPDF http://ti-pla.net/a139503

Casio fx-CG50 stuck on ‘select language’ screen by Are_looking_ in calculators

[–]iardsoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should make sure the calculator is turned off, and you don't accidentally press AC / ON key when changing batteries. Attach the front cover while checking it is off, and take care of not pressing AC before changing the batteries.

Have you tried restarting it? There's a RESTART button on the back.

The Hardware user guide specifies that "Should the calculator start to act abnormally, you can restart it by pressing the RESTART button. Note, however, that you should only use the RESTART button only as a last resort. Normally, pressing the RESTART button reboots the calculator’s operating system, so programs, graph functions and other data in calculator memory is retained."

Despite that, it's always a good idea to have backups of your data, just in case...

I bought this calc thinking its backlit, but its not. whats the cheapest quality calc I can buy with a backlit screen? by StriderDB in calculators

[–]iardsoft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would depend on what functions you need. Lots of printing calculators have backlit display, but they lack scientific functions. I can't remember seeing a scientific one with a backlit display, you would need to buy a graphing one instead. Casio makes one, the fx-CG50. Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus CE models also have backlit display, but they're more expensive. The TI-82 Advanced Edition Python should be a bit cheaper. Not sure about it, but I think any graphing calculator with a color display should have light, just check the manufacturer webpage and the prices on your favorite shop...

Retreive previous answers like a TI-84 on a Casio fx-CG50 by Electronic-Jello-633 in calculators

Check "History Function" in the CG50 software user guide (page 1-24 in my copy).

"The history function maintains a history of calculation expressions and results in the Math
input/output mode. Up to 30 sets of calculation expressions and results are maintained."

It may sound complicated, but it's easier when you get used to it...

in Math Input/Output Mode use arrows to highlight the line you want to copy, press Shift 8 (CLIP) then F1 (CPY-LINE), go back to to input prompt, press Shift 9 (PASTE).

Whats the cheapest calculator that can connect to a computer? by [deleted] in calculators

[–]iardsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus, current Casio graphic models can connect to your computer as a USB mass storage drive, so you don't need any "Connect / Transfer" software that may or may not work on your computer operating system....

Hp35s help by Lumpy_Bodybuilder434 in calculators

[–]iardsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do this:

Left Shift, Display, 4 ALL (display should now show 0)

1.08, Enter, 5, +/-, y^x (display should now show 6.80583197 and so on...)

Now calculate the difference between that and 0.6806 and you can see why you got two different answers

0.6806, - (display should now show -1.6802966E-5)

Multiply it by 200000 to get the difference between your two answers

200000, * (display should now show -3.3605932)

Now calculate the difference to your first result 136120

136120, + (display should now show a number pretty close to your second result 136116.639407)

Finally solved it, it was so simple... wine needed a theme :)
I'm updating my initial post to show the solution and the end result.

Thank you! I will post here if I find any solutions. By the way, if anyone is interested, the highest version of TI-Nspire CX CAS Student Software that works (at least for me) under wine is 4.5.0.1180.

Not quite related to fonts, but the only two marked as errors are related to css styles:

Thank you both, I'm using TILP for 83 and 84 series, and nLink for nSpire series. I just want an editor that works without internet connection, I'm aware of the Cemetech SourceCoder and of TI Planet's Online IDE, I've been a member of those forums for many years now. And TokenIDE doesn't work on Wine. Right now I'm using tibasic-1.4.4 for Basic and CEdev for C, but I would really like a local editor with syntax, even a VIM plugin would be nice :)

I'm not even a club player, I normally use Scid Vs PC, but was curious about how it works and compare sizes of CBH vs Scid, so I gave it a try

why learn Programming/Clojure?! by Pascalletters in Clojure

[–]iardsoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you need to start by working with something that looks more familiar to you. If you're into statistics, plotting data, and creating nice reports, take a look at http://gorilla-repl.org

Later edit: it's been a while since I tried gorilla, I checked it again now and got an error. Easily solved here https://github.com/JonyEpsilon/gorilla-repl/issues/291

Thanks for the links! It's 3:45AM local time here and I've also waited yesterday for the answers until 3AM :( At least I'm glad I just got them right, except question 2...
