  1. Free42, the Free Software re-implementation of the classic HP 42s RPN calculator, supports using custom skins, a bit like WinAmp skins but more complex - instead of just a bunch of bitmaps, you get to define the size and location of each button and graphical element.

    I have discovered that it its parsing of the layout file is not very strict, so I can wrap some HTML, CSS, and JavaScript around it and get a polyglot file that I can load into Free42 to test, and also load into a browser to visualise the coordinates as I edit them.

    (the attached screenshot depicts a skin for Free42's slightly more capable cousin Plus42, but the skin files are interchangeable)

  6. HP 12C The calculator that wouldn’t die

    Ho scritto parecchi articoli sulle calcolatrici HP Saturn in logica RPN, con un misto di nostalgia e amarezza. Scopro oggi che in realtà c'è ancora una calcolatrice in produzione, grazie a questo articolo di TheRegister che documenta un problema di calcolo dell'interesse composto, che affligge alcuni modelli.

    La HP 12c è una calcolatrice finanziaria ancora in produ

  10. Did you know that you can actually upgrade your #DM42 #calculator’s #Free42 version? #SwissMicros hasn‘t updated Thomas Okken‘s awesome #HP42S simulator that runs on their DM42 hardware, it‘s still on version 3.0.15 and was last updated in October 2022.
    The current Free42 version is 3.1.8, dated 2024-04-24. And guess what: GitHub user Regis Verpillot accepted the challenge to bring this latest version to the DM42 hardware! 🎉🍾🥳💃🕺 👉 github.com/rverpillot/free42

  19. A hands-on look at the SwissMicros DM42, the world’s most precise pocket calculator

    I know I have posted a month back about this calculator, but this video unboxing and test, is really entertaining to watch (as testified by the over 430k views so far). It just makes me want to have one, although I really don't have a need for it (I have an HP41CV if I really need one).

    The DM42 is a clone and improvement of the famous HP42S, with open source firmware based on the Free42 platform. SwissMicros has done an excellent job though on the build and presentation. It is also an excellent example of how repairability should be done.
