Ideas for Additional Calculator Features
Hi all!

Right now I'm working on a successor for my calculator ScArY.

I'm combining the cheap development board QYF-TM1638 (8 digit LED display, 16 buttons) with an Arduino/Genuino (USB/ATMEGA328, 28672 bytes of flash RAM) which gives me the opportunity for many more functions (see attachment). Even calculating matrices with complex numbers is implemented - not bad for a $5 DIY calculator.

Right now I still have approx. 5 kilobytes of free flash memory. I'm planning to implement some kind of program editor and additional programming features (GOTO, X?Y, GOSUB, ...) but maybe there are more valuable things to do with the spare memory.

Do you have any suggestions or wishes what I could implement else?

Regards
deetee
