I have read you for years. It is a luxury to read the messages of such trained people in this forum.
I'm mechanical engineer. In our company we have 8 Prime calculators, one in each cnc machine, and another in the technical office. Each calculator has specific applications and utilities for each machine. It is a wonderful calculator. We could not live without them !!!!

Prime in CNC machines? I thought the CNC machines, that are not exactly that cheap, came with plenty of power in them (Say, at least the equivalent of a raspberry).

Could you share more? Did your team put the Prime in the CNC, did the CNC come with the Prime built in? Are the programs run there done by your team or come pre-programmed from the factory?

I did not know the Prime could be interfaced to command things.


And for the (paraphrasing) "the prime is just a pimped educational calculator". I wish so many things would be pimped in the same way the Prime got pimped from the 39gii (and I have 4 times the hp50G, so I like RPL too).
