HP 15c CE - New firmware update officially available!
Hello all!
I am happy to inform you, that the new firmware update for HP 15c CE and a new Windows Program for backup and restore created by Cyrille is now officially available on the MORAVIA Consulting website - hpcalcs.com. This firmware update not only solve some minor issues, such as improving key-press issues (by increasing the key debouncing time to 120ms) or bringing new features like memory backup and restore, but more importantly, is a big milestone as it is a first official update for Voyager calculator since MORAVIA overtook the development of HP calculators in 2021. It is very important to mention, that this all wouldn't be possible without a new programming cable created by Jose, who did a great job and was able to bring the cable back, which is now for the very first time available directly from HP Licensees. You can get your cables on hpcalcs.com (Europe), hpofficesupply.com (USA, Canada - available in August) or http://www.thecalculatorstore.com. I want also to thank to all HP 15c CE development team members, who did a really great job on the project which is also illustrated by this update. Have fun! Radim Frydrych, Project Manager at MORAVIA Consulting spol. s r.o. |

RE: HP 15c CE - New firmware update officially available!
Just out of curiosity, was the minor fix to the Decimal display mode of the HP-16C Mode included?
I know that's an Easter Egg and not officially supported, but wishful thinking on my part. |

RE: HP 15c CE - New firmware update officially available!
Thank you very much for official update!
I've been testing the new firmware for several hours now and so far no key bouncing. So maybe the 120 ms will be enough to solve the problems with the keyboard (100 ms in the unofficial firmware was much better than the original one, but not enough). By the way, what kind of keyboard is it that even 100 ms is not enough for debouncing? My experience with buttons from various manufacturers is that the wobble lasts up to 5 ms max (measured with an oscilloscope) and in my projects I have debouncing set to 10 ms and in years of use no key bouncing.

We have received a few complaints about keyboard issues, but have not been able to collect enough samples to send to the factory to verify that this is indeed a HW issue. I have also personally tested some of the returned calculators, and most have passed the keyboard test. I have 1-2 calculators on hand that have real keyboard problems, but unfortunately that is not enough to start the process with the factory. Also, we are not getting any major complaints from our resellers on this issue. Radim |

RE: HP 15c CE - New firmware update officially available!
Thanks for the reply, Radim. And I'm very glad that you took over the HP calculator division, and I believe that in addition to the great retro replicas, you'll also be busy improving the current HP Prime model (as the new beta firmwares suggest).
I wish you good luck in your work! Prime G2, 15C CE |

RE: HP 15c CE - New firmware update officially available!
Cool, I'll grab one of the cables once they're available from the US store. It's nice to see the product getting continued support.
If Moravia does a 42SII, or a 27SII, I'll be sure to get one of those too, hint hint. ![]() |

It's not a satisfying answer, but this will run in Parallels and other high fidelity Windows emulator/runtime systems. To my knowledge it has not been tested under Wine yet, but I assume it will work fine, it's a very minimalist command line program and should have no issues. --Bob Prosperi |

For Wine, there will need to be some messing around to make the USB serial device (assuming the host has a driver for it) appear as a COM port in Wine. — Ian Abbott |

RE: HP 15c CE - New firmware update officially available!
Hi @Divasson, Thanks for the link to your store in the post above. I just ordered a cable to my home in Australia. I thought the transaction was very clear and well organised, with email confirmation too.
Once ive set it up, to be able to save to pc will give me confidence to expand on the range and complexity of programs I can put in, without risk of losing it all or messing up. And firmware upgrades are a great step up too. I'm not too concerned by the other modes, but the debounce fix will be much appreciated. My hp15c-CE isn't too bad in this regard, but it does catch me out occasionally. |
