Ben Heck's DIY Graphing Calculator

Seeing all the attempts at people making their own calculator, I found this quite relevant. Still watching at the moment, but seems like a pretty neat project. Also, I love their intro. :P

I don't have the time to watch the vid right now (trying to program :P ) but it looks great :)
Creating my own calculator and potentially mass producing and selling it is always something i wanted to do  :D

Yeah, I love the "regrettable acting" in The Ben Heck Show. I was disappointed though at how lousy the "calculator" application was. It was a super simple command line program that didn't even do any expression parsing, a python prompt would have been better!

Do you want me to show you my parser program? :P Ive only done token parsing and its already a mess, 'couse siriusly, parsing aint easy.  ;) So i wouldn't expect expression parsing :P But then again i haven't watched the video yet so we might be on to different pages.
Edit:
From my conversation with Ivoah over IRC it seems that a math parser is not as hard to make as a C parser,which i had in mind. Where, however, can i find the documentation for the stuff done in the video? I have searched the element14 website, but cant seem to find anything.
Edit 2:
"its ironic that if someone does make there own graphing calculator, it will most most likely use parts manufactured by Texas Instruments :("-c4ooo over irc

Yea, unfortunatley, the calculator didn't do much. Given the time constraints and all they had to do I'd say they didn't do to badly though.
