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.

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.

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 :-)

Thanks Marcus.

Looking forward to flashing this thing and taking it around the block to see what it can do.

Where's the list/writeup on applying these mods? I just received my overlay and am waiting on the calculator.

Crystal addition is discussed in this thread.
