HP-50 on Raspberry Pi? The HP-67 come true? - Matti Övermark - 07-29-2013 Has anyone tried to use/implement a HP48/50 on a Raspberry Pi? The R-pi runs on 700 MHz with a possibility to overclock to 1000 MHz, so it would be quite nice since the R-pi costs much less than the original. My extreme wet dream is a commandline interface in/on the Pi with all the, indeed, superb functions of the HP50g. Just hook up to the Pi/HP (with ssh) and run all of the ordinary HP functions! The R-pi costs about 650 SEK here in Sweden, say 100 USD with 16 GB Ultra 10 SD-card and power adapter. HDMI and Ethernet cables not included.
Benefits of the R-pi/HP50 combo would be that a Large HDMI-display can be used, i.e.24''. It runs on open source Linux distros and one is able to swap SD-cards and reboot with a new setting. The memory can be expanded with a single cheap SD-card of sufficient size. How many have tried the R-pi? If you haven't, do.
Cheers from Matti in Sweden
Re: HP-50 on Raspberry Pi? The HP-67 come true? - Pier Aiello - 07-29-2013 Run an (slow) emulator to waste CPU cycles ? It's better to install debian and octave/sage/python + scipy.
An hp50g emulator is too inefficient, it's inefficient on the very hp50g that runs userRPL not in native manner (in fact hp39gII rocks in terms of speed).
Re: HP-50 on Raspberry Pi? The HP-67 come true? - Thomas Klemm - 07-29-2013 Maybe not exactly what you want but similar: install emacs and run the calculator.
Kind regards
PS: To install emacs run: sudo apt-get install emacs Re: HP-50 on Raspberry Pi? The HP-67 come true? - Thomas Klemm - 07-29-2013 Yet another possibility is RPL/2. I thought I give it a try and am currently compiling it on my Raspberry Pi running raspbian. Additionally I had to install:
Cheers Re: HP-50 on Raspberry Pi? The HP-67 come true? - Barry Mead - 07-29-2013 python with its mpmath library handles almost all of the advanced mathematics you would ever need, and to any precision you like. Also there are some nice graphing packages for python as well.
Re: HP-50 on Raspberry Pi? The HP-67 come true? - Chris Smith - 07-29-2013 Agreed. I use SciPy IPython a lot these days when sitting in front of a computer. Incredible piece of software. Example "notebook" from it with tutorial...

Cheers
PS: And some of them still like Python.
Re: HP-50 on Raspberry Pi? The HP-67 come true? - Gilles Carpentier - 07-29-2013 You can't compare an HP39GII and a 50G... Re: HP-50 on Raspberry Pi? The HP-67 come true? - Pier Aiello - 07-30-2013 Yes, in terms of features you are right. But i want to say: an emulator of hp50g is a waste of CPU performance, even on the very hp50g since userRPL and sysRPL commands are emulated and not native.
(in fact with HPGCC programs, the 50g is insanely fast)
Re: HP-50 on Raspberry Pi? The HP-67 come true? - Thomas Klemm - 07-30-2013 Quote: After installing a few other things I'm able now to run RPL/2 on my Raspberry Pi. Here's my program from Gerson's thread Nibble reverse (HP-48,49,50g)
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ rpl -si
From the man-page: RELATED STANDARDS So still not a HP-50 but you might like it nonetheless.
Have fun! Re: HP-50 on Raspberry Pi? The HP-67 come true? - Matti Övermark - 07-30-2013 Thanks Thomas! Check Your mailbox!
