Even though it's a little late, I finished the calculator I set out to build for Timasomo! The closer I got to the finish line the less motivation I had to finish it, and the case could use a lot more work, but what's done is done. I might revisit the project later, for now I'll put the calculator on my workbench and use it until I get tired of it.
Thanks to everyone who followed my erratic update posts!
Sorry for the delay in my feedback! I finally had time to sit down and watch this. First off: hilarious. I wasn’t expecting to be thoroughly entertained by a calculator video but you kept it...
Sorry for the delay in my feedback! I finally had time to sit down and watch this.
First off: hilarious. I wasn’t expecting to be thoroughly entertained by a calculator video but you kept it lively and funny all the way through.
Second off: WOW. I am so impressed! I’d seen your updates and knew how it was shaping up, but I was starstruck by the final product. It looks great, works great, and sounds amazing with those wonderfully satisfying clacks. I would use it for simple arithmetic I could do in my head just for that wonderful sound and feel.
I’ll also echo that your percentage calculator is brilliant. If I had to guess why we haven’t seen it, it’s probably because knobs are pretty uncommon as input devices, and that’s what makes your implementation so elegant. I also love that you have the unit conversions built in. That’s equally elegant, especially with how you can push them to the stack.
Also, who knew there were so many different paper sizes? (You, obviously, but definitely not me!)
Absolutely phenomenal job on your project, delphi. I hope you get a ton of use out of your opinionated calculator, and I wish you all the best with your incoming lawsuit from Teenage Engineering. 😂
Thanks for sharing! I tried it out when you posted in the other thread but couldn't get the full picture without seeing the device. I never went down the RPN rabbit hole myself, but, working with...

I never went down the RPN rabbit hole myself, but, working with kids, their inability to understand parentheses and operator precedence does make me long for a world where RPN won out. I'm really curious how they'd take to the percent calculation tool, as I think seeing the numbers scroll together provides a more visceral understanding.
Also, mmmm that sound! You can tell how good the math is by the clickety-clack.
This is really cool! I love the percentage mode. It’s one of those things that seem like such a simple interface idea, but I don’t think anyone has done it before. This would be far more work than...

This would be far more work than it’s worth, but having one in an hp-11c form factor with an Apple Watch style Digital Crown on the side would be sick!

where can I learn to trans my numbers !!!!!!
Convert them to any base besides 2 to make them non-binary.
