Design news writes – “Some of us remember the “good old days” when we banged out design calculations on a high-end TI or HP scientific calculator. And how we even wrote code to automate the calculations we repeated often! Thinking how cool it would be to do that again on a calculator he built himself, Daniel decided to emulate a subset of the TI-59. His project contains two displays and a serial port, supports the TI Algebraic Operating System and even some programmability. It also includes free source code to get you started. If you are up to it, write more code to add functions and share it with the Gadget Freak community.”
