Ahhh too bad. My current favourite calculator is a $10 CASIO fx-260 Solar II. It’s really compact, it doesn’t use VPAM, it’s really simple to use (no menus to navigate or anything like that).
- mikewarot 4y agoI really like the $10 white Casio solar I got at CVS. It does a really good job with degrees/minutes/seconds which came in handy when doing gear setups.
- chongli 4y agoGear setups? That's really interesting! Do you mean gear ratios for transmissions and the like? I've been using the degrees/minutes/seconds for astronomy calculations! It's funny because I bought the calculator after watching Dave do a review of it on the EEVBlog [1] youtube channel. He actually wishes they'd get rid of the DMS key in favour of some other keys he prefers for doing electronics calculations (polar <-> rectangular conversions). I bought it anyway thinking I'd have no use for DMS but here I am using it! [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF3xKFOJ804 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF3xKFOJ804
