RPN83P: RPN calculator for TI-83+ TI-84+ inspired by HP-42S

[bxparks]

[Updated on 2024-07-19 for v1.0.0]

RPN83P is an RPN calculator app for the TI-83 Plus series and TI-84 Plus series calculators, inspired mostly by the HP-42S, with significant features from the HP-12C and HP-16C. RPN83P also hopes to be the easiest and cheapest gateway app that introduces new users to the beauty and power of RPN calculators.

RPN83P is a flash application written in Z80 assembly language that consumes 3 pages (48 kiB) of flash memory. Since it is stored in flash, it is preserved if the RAM is cleared.

Project Home:

• https://github.com/bxparks/rpn83p
  

Installation:

• Download the rpn83p.8xk file from the RPN83P Releases page.
• Upload the file to the TI-83 Plus or TI-84 Plus calculator.
• Run the program using the APPS button and selecting "RPN83P".
