I'm thinking it would be good if someone could create a closed sticky thread that includes a link to the http://www.truespacelibrary.com site. It's a great idea that needs a little more press! :) |

Good idea, I created such a thread in the Tech Forum: http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?t=2105 |

Thank you two.
ProfessorKhaos for your great work, and I know, you did the biggest part
of the calculator.
And you trueBlue for your kindly help to manage the selection of
the buttons.
Some months ago, I had this idea of a calculator, but was afraid
of making the display. Then I saw PKs display and was happy to
start this project. :banana:
Norm: and what's about a wicki with examples? |

ProfessorKhaos:
Is there an easy way for you, to implement the "^" (power) sign
into the 20digit display. I could use it for
"Exp" (=> X*10^Y)
"INV Ln" (=> X=e^Y) and
"INV Log" (=> X=10^Y) |

The 7 (actually 15) segment display is modelled after the real electrical component and would take a quite a bit of work to section things up again (basically almost a restart). There is a solution in the making though. The dot matrix display I'm currently working on would be able to display the ^ character with ease along with many other characters found on a keyboard. Should hopefully be available soon... depends how feature filled the first version needs to be. |

Thank you. Maybe, that could be the start of a programmable calculator. ;) |

lol... the world's first Wigand-48 Virtual Scientific Graphing Calculator (WG-48V+ for short?)
RPN-style calculator would probably make it a bit more straightforward to implement but not everyone knows how to use one of those. :) |

Would be cool! Have you seen this one?

I could envision using P.K.LED DISPLAY being used as a text file to enter coordinates for a 3D Model
from W.3D CALCULATOR all within trueSpace7 dynamically. |

Hello TrueBlue
I tried some different options to let the user see, that a button is
pressed or not.
First, I read the object.name and then add a nummer to the Z-position:
Dim pos
Sub Execute(params)
Objectname = params.conValue("Objectname")
Set koords=Node.Value(Objectname,"ObjMatrix")
pos=koords.GetTransZ()-0.5
koords.SetTransZ(pos)
node.Value(Objectname,"Matrix")=koords
params.conValue("ZPosition") = pos
End Sub
It worked, but how can I fix the X- and Y-Position relativ to
the calculator case?
I would need a script object for every button. But this is to much work.
Is there an easier way?
:) I hacked the Click and Jump script that Norm wrote and with his help with the final setting you now have this activity with your Calculator. I updated the previous post.
Thanks Norm! :jumpy:

Yikes I had to remove that last recording I posted and replace it with the older version. Button activity needs somemore work. I just had buttons flying into outer space. Maybe you can investigate Wigand and come up with a better solution. There still is a problem with selecting the same number twice. |
