ACT available

[PANAMATIK]

HP-67 with Infrared printing and GPS module !!

The "new ACT" for the real HP-67 calculator has got a major update version 1.14. It shows a much improved memory usage display, lots of texts like operating hours, serial number use separate digits for the decimal dot and make use of the 15-digit display. And of course some bug fixes.

For the first time there is the possibility to integrate a GPS receiver into the HP-67.

Also 10 of the 15 STANDARD PAC application programs are preloaded, using 10 of the available 21 user programs. But they can be overwritten by your own programs.

Like in previous versions 160 additional registers are included in the new version 1.14 (GPS version only 16), stopwatch (and hex conversion only without Ir and GPS) are included. All these versions can be downloaded from my website, see actupdate


This image shows the UTC time received from GPS satellites. The HP-67 display drivers cannot display the letter "P", therefore a 180 degree turned "d" letter is used for "Global Discovery System"


The GPS module fits very tight as shown here near the Card reader motor, but housing can be closed normally. The motor can also be removed for getting more space.



The switching power supply for getting 3.3 Volt from the batteries is nicely placed on the bottom side of the main board and some wiring is necessary. The red and black wires leads to the Infrared printing diode, which can be used coexistent with the GPS.


The GPS version for the HP-67 was inprired by a member here and I'm very grateful for it, because I could equip my own HP-67 now with a GPS module and it gives me much fun (added to the hard work for getting the software running, which was also fun)
