WP 34S Modulo Bug

[Gerald H]

So the story goes happily to bed with a bug fix.

Farewell, you were an interesting thread.

Not much use to me personally, can't reflash the operating system.

Still "A nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse".

You need a serial cable that is not available anymore.
Or you may contact Eric asking for the reflashing service.

Thanks for the answer.

No, I shan't try to persuade him, I have already given cogent arguments, & to anyone numerate post #1 is sufficient.

If these were your cogent arguments I don't want to hear your sardonic ones...

Cheers

A new build can be found in the SVN repository.

I've updated, rebuilt, flashed and my r3673 shows -4mod2=0.
Thanks!

There is an easy work around for programs:

Code:

LBL'MOD'
MOD
x=? L
RCL- X
RTN

Or you could use RMDR which is correct but gives different results when the argument's signs are different.

Go to a mobile phone accessory shop (or m.phone service center) and ask for the "CA-42" USB data cable (the cheap clone with blue connectors, not the original Nokia one(!)). It costs almost nothing.
Cut the mobile phone side connector off, there are only 3 wires inside:

Code:

Blue - GND
Green - Rx
White - Tx

That is all HW you need for flashing, you may need a piece of wire for the erase. I do it by holding the 3 serial wires in my fingers while flashing.. No special connector is required. It is not a rocket science..
