Check those attachments! ;)
You'll see the REAL POWER of a 15-dollar scientific calculator made by CASIO! ;D
-All photos are from fx-es(ms) user group.

Wow that is amazing! How did you manage to program it?
(1337 posts :D)

wow, that is pretty cool! Great job!
-
Gosh that's awesome. *.*

I checked that usergroup and it's all chinese. I use a translate addon which gives a rough translation, but I have not found out how they program the chip yet.
-
LOL...
If you check that user group, you can discover a lot of people discussing "ASCII Spelling".
It's NOT about programming in fact.
It's a bug of CASIO fx-es plus series VerE that you can print ANY characters on the screen.
So just have fun!
-
So you can NOT program it? This is a hoax?
-
Awww... Sadface D:
-
:( That would've been too cool :D

One thing though: I opened up my fx-82ES and found out there are two solder pads for SP+ and SP-. This would suggest you can hook up a speaker :D I am gonna try that and maybe hack some more
-
@Keoni: It looks that way. I think the title was just to get people's attention. I wonder if that's all the bug does?
-
Maybe you can throw in a flash chip and execute some code from there. :D

Those solder pads are meant for solar panels.

Oh. Bummer

The first pic showing Google and the 2nd one having a login screen immediately gave it away for me, so I wasn't fooled. :P
However, one thing I have to mention about the fx-ES calcs (not the fx-ES+ ones) is that they apparently all use the same hardware and all you need to do to switch the model number and functionalities is using a graphite pencil to fill the little dot things (I think they're called jumpers) on the calc motherboard. Graphite pencil lead is an electricity conductor, so basically you don't even need to do any soldering.
There is even a (French) tutorial at TI-Planet https://tiplanet.org/forum/archives_voir.php?id=4241

It's an quite old trick, and the hack can only be done on old VerA models, which are quite rare now. (CASIO knew that bug, so the company once set up an exchange program. Most of the people didn't know the fact so they just went to send their VerA and got an all-new VerB.)
However, several hack can also be done on a VerB model. There is a video named "Hack your fx-82es VerB" on YouTube (It's uploaded by me!) telling you how to use a bug to upgrade an fx-82es to an fx-991es.

Interesting, I didn't know about that program by Casio. Also thanks for the head up about the video. :)
-
is the video .
And that was amazing, how did you find that lol :P
-
That is amazing, I didnt even knew calculators were able to do that!

Hmm in the first video of the series he says the bluetooth module communicates over UART and the calculator apparently has UART in it (rx tx lines) Perhaps you can program it over uart?
