From: nausea1995 on 7 Jul 2006 14:33 Hi, I am hoping to find a simple DC Circuit Simulator program for the 49g+. Circuitos looked good but despite being labeled on hpcalc.org as English/Spanish, I cannot figure out how to switch it to English. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't need anything complicated, just enough for very simple dc circuits. Also, if anyone knows why I have to unplug/plug in my usb cabled each time I want to reconnect using Conn4x please let me know.
From: nausea1995 on 7 Jul 2006 15:13 I wrote a long rant against HP, but decided not to post it. It doesn't look hopeful to find such a program, the few that look like what I am looking for are either in spanish, or for the 48. I like my HP and unfortanetely for myself cannot see myself using a non-rpn calculator, but it is very frustrating to continuously come across situations where software that would be very applicable in the classroom has only been developed for TI. The reasons for this are obvious, but it's still just as disheartening. Too bad Qonos is dead, I understood it was planned to emulate HP and TI. Anyone care to exlpain what kind of programming issues or whatever prevent someone from emulating/porting appilcations written in TI language to HP? Also, will the 50g be backwards compatible to run programs written for 48 let alone 49? Thanks all. ~John nausea1995(a)gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > > I am hoping to find a simple DC Circuit Simulator program for the 49g+. > Circuitos looked good but despite being labeled on hpcalc.org as > English/Spanish, I cannot figure out how to switch it to English.

I agree it's frustrating, but realistically for something like SPICE I think you'd find that you give up an *awful* lot of productivitiy & features just to be able to use an HP-48 rather than a laptop computer. That being said, I know there are SPICEs for the HP-48 series out there -- I've never used them, however. > Too bad Qonos is dead, > I understood it was planned to emulate HP and TI.

Yeah, I've been limited to using PC for this kind of stuff, but having a simple SPICE program on my calc would be useful for working on homework at school or verifying circuits in labs. > > That being said, I know there are SPICEs for the HP-48 series out there -- > I've never used them, however. How difficult / time consuming would it be to port a 48 program to 49 for a novice like myself? I guess it involves rewriting the code in a different language, in which case it's something I wouldn't have time to learn how to do. ~john

HP 50G == hp49g+ ** software wise the RS-232C may have additional entry in [ON] [D] menu The hardware seems to differ by offering both RSl & USB and using 4 batteries & different case/keyboard colouring and having finally a good keyboard to begin with So if your programs for the 49g+ work/work not expect the same from the 50G |
