Installing apps on the Prime

[CheshireChris]

If I download a new app from the HPCalc software library, how do I install it on my Prime? Dragging and dropping the app folder onto the “Contents” pane of the HP Connectivity kit doesn’t seem to work. Do I just manually copy the folder into “My Documents/HP Connectivity Kit/Calculators/<my calc name>” using Windows Explorer? I’ve read the Connectivity Kit User Guide and it didn’t provide any help with this.

EDIT: Never mind - sorted it! For the possible benefit of others, all you have to do is to expand the calculator tab of the connected calculator in the HPK, then drag and drop the app folder onto the “Application Library” section of the display. Obvious, really .

Thanks!

Not so obvious. I banged my head against that for more time than I can care to admit!

Once you figure it out, though, it’s awesome. I have the Base48 app installed, and it almost makes up for not having a 16C app on my iPhone.

Yes, it would have been nice if the HCK User Guide had included a section on "How to install software"!

STENDEC Calculators has online Emulators of the entire "Voyager" HP calculator series including the HP-10C, HP-11C, HP-12C, HP-12C Platinum, HP-15C and HP-16C models. Also has links to IOS and Android "Touch RPN" app versions (free and paid). The free version of these apps have all Voyager models but shows ads in the corner of the app.
Here is the link to the IOS version:

Oooh!! That’s new since I last looked (ages ago) at the offerings for emulators.

That was an instabuy!
