Backlighting Your Calculator

Yes, there's just the small issue of other people writing tutorials for internal backlighting before now so don't copyright that idea just yet.

Uh, Kerm's the one with copyright issues, not me, and I don't plan on copyrighting it. Well, not in it's entirety anyways.

Try looking at the second post in this topic.

Agility, I clearly thought of this first. Check out the time/date stamp on the ticalc.org plans. Granted, they're beta, but the idea's there. Secondly, you can see the new plans and discuss this at:

How about you two start competing with your hardware, so in 3 or 4 years from now we'll be buying $500 videocards for our calcs, instead of whining on some internet forum?

I said the same thing on his forum;

Well, it is possible.

He wasn't even twelve at that date!

Arcane Wizard · Posted: 01 Aug 2004 08:19:14 am Post subject:

Nor where you!!111!1

agility · Posted: 01 Aug 2004 08:20:55 am Post subject:

Duh, I just turned 11 at that time.

But the point is that there's no way you can develop a color screen when you're 11.

Yeah, it's not like it's possible that one liked to play around with electroniccs and could've learned how to solder 3 LEDs and a handfull of basic things like resistors and transformers together.. oh wait that is possible, and hardly rare either.

agility · Posted: 01 Aug 2004 08:35:34 am Post subject:

Logic gates, IC's, resistors, Transistors, interior of TI83+ calculator, LED's, all of the concepts needed to properly work with these things... of course an 11 year old could understand this quite easily Neutral

All you have to know about the Ti83 is that it has a 2.5" stereo jack over which high and low current can be send.

Logic gates, ICs, resistors, transistors, LED's are all extremely easy to understand once you've learned about them. I understood logic gates, resistors, transistors, and LED's just fine when I was 11 and I wasn't really that interested in electronics. I also knew about binary code and what this had to do with high and low voltage over a wire.

agility · Posted: 01 Aug 2004 08:50:15 am Post subject:

What about the interior of the TI83+ though?

Most 11 year old's don't have graphical calculators..

Most people from where i come from get it at age 14-16

Arcane Wizard · Posted: 01 Aug 2004 12:03:23 pm Post subject:

Keyword being most, and if you're insterested in electronics it becmoes more likely.

agility · Posted: 01 Aug 2004 12:10:23 pm Post subject:

I still doubt that Kerm really had anything before April 2001, not only because he was just 11, but because his first set of schematics were released on March 2003.

leofox · Posted: 01 Aug 2004 12:13:30 pm Post subject:

you wouldn't need a graphing calculator when you're 11, but who knows, an older brother can give you one..

agility · Posted: 01 Aug 2004 12:14:48 pm Post subject:

Yeah; he's gonna rip it up and take pictures of its internals.

Arcane Wizard · Posted: 01 Aug 2004 12:19:57 pm Post subject:

I would've when I was 11 and got a graphing calc to wreck.
