hp 30b -> wp 34s - Christopher Johnson - 02-07-2012 Alright, putting in the caps and crystal to say the least was quite a job. WOW those things are tiny. 2 caps are gone somewhere in the carpet. I'm glad I bought 8 of them. Quite a job for 51 year old hands and eyes. I was going to take pictures but I wouldn't want anyone to see my GREAT solder work. The calculator still works. Is there anyway to check the clock without the 34s firmware? I'm guessing that calc_xtal_full.bin is the firmware that I need to be able to use the clock. That is the standard firmware with the clock function. Correct? Now waiting on the cable and overlay.

Re: hp 30b -> wp 34s - Marcus von Cube, Germany - 02-07-2012 I'm not aware of a feature in the original 30b firmware to enable the crystal so you will have to wait for the cable. calc(_full).bin supports the crystal but you need to activate it with ON+C. calc_xtal(_full).bin supports only modified calculators. The crystal is activated on a cold boot (you'll notice a delay when powering on the calculator the first time after a reset.) I've added the stop watch function to this release.
The images with _full in the name contain some user code library routines which show up in CAT.
Re: hp 30b -> wp 34s - Sylvain Louboutin - 02-07-2012 I received everything, cable, overlays, crystal and caps (and a 30b of course), now I just need one quite evening to try to put it all together :-)
Re: hp 30b -> wp 34s - Christopher Johnson - 02-07-2012 Thanks Marcus. Looking forward to flashing this thing and taking it around the block to see what it can do.

Re: hp 30b -> wp 34s - David Griffith - 02-07-2012 Where's the list/writeup on applying these mods? I just received my overlay and am waiting on the calculator.
Re: hp 30b -> wp 34s - Jeff O. - 02-08-2012 Crystal addition is discussed in this thread.
Re: hp 30b -> wp 34s - Dominic Richens - 02-08-2012 I copied some of the previous discussion to a page under wp34s on wiki4hp.com
