I found an App in the App Store for an HP 41 Emulator for the Ipad. I have installed it and spent about 20 minutes messing with it. It looks very interesting. I am going to dig around in my archives and start working on my COGO program for the HP 41 again. I wish I could find a program listing from the old HO 9815 desktop. I think it could be converted to the HP 41 and the Ipad. Here are some screen captures from the Ipad.

🙂

I like that. Man, I haven't heard a 9815 mentioned in a long time. I have fond memories of it. That was our first "desktop computer". I remember it well.

They added a line on the top of the display, cool but not identical to the OEM. Pretty cool that it has the survey pac overlay.

I'm not a 41 guy, but I thought the app for the iphone had ALL the programs that were available in the little cards that stuck in the top.. maybe I misread that, or you are talking about your own personal programs?

Thanks for the heads up. I love the 11C for the iPad but I'll have to get this one also.

Here is the 11C screen shot.

It works really slick.

Steve,
Does the 41 Emulator come with the survey pac programs?

According to the app store review it provides "Access to the entire HP-41 library of solutions for science, mathematics, statistics, engineering, business, financial, surveying, medicine, real estate, and many other domains"

I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds good.

You have access to all of the application ROMs. I loaded the Survey ROM. Many years ago, I was working on a front end for a COGO program that used the sub routines in the Survey Pack that would store coordinates by point number. I had it working, but you had to have the tape drive hooked up to store more than 20 or so points. I was also working on having it use extended memory, but I had a memory loss and had not backed it up to tape for a while, then other things got in the way and I never finished it. Some where, I still have the program steps written down, and possibly a print out, if the sun did not make it fade away. From the first glance at the data managements parts of the emulator, it looks like I will be able to use a lot of the storage capacity of the Ipad to store coordinates, if desired.

Interesting - my COGO program status seems to have been exactly the same as yours... I can't remember what came along to distract me, but I have all my documentation in a brief case that I open every few years. I think about reviving it, but can't seem to come up with a reason to...

I don't understand why anyone would want to use 2010 technology to reproduce 1980s technology.

I've been using a Fujitsu tablet, in the field, for 8 years. Yes it can read documents, books, whatever. But the best part is: It's a full blown computer, running ACAD, internet, DC, anything and everything any surveyor will ever need.

:coffee:

I don't think we are reproducing the technology, which is the hardware but the programs that really have no reason to change just because of new technology.

HP 11C app for droid?

I have been looking for an 11c app for my droid.

Does anybody out there know where or how I can find one?

I dunno. Do the Ipad or Apple apps work on a droid? I got it of the Apple store For free.

I love my 11C. This let's it live on now.
