So, Projekt SR-56 vorläufig abgeschlossen. Alles funktioniert. 😊 Höchstens nochmal alles aufmachen für eine Grundreinigung innen. Und mal sehen, wie man die sichtbaren Blessuren kaschieren könnte. Vielleicht die Tasten retro-brighten? 🤔 Der Batteriefach-Deckel ist 3D-gedruckt, weil‘s mit dem Original alles zu eng war. Die 1150 mAh des LiPo Akkus sind fast doppelt so viel Energie, wie die originalen NiCd Akkus! #TexasInstruments #Taschenrechner #Calculator #LiPo #restauration #sr56 #3dprinting

Just been in a meeting with my faculty's disability support people, where they said they were trying to buy an accessible scientific calculator for a visually impaired student to use in exams.

Googling, I found this - visionaid.co.uk/calculators/sc - which has the assistive tech margin added for a cost of £535!

Meanwhile, I know the Desmos calculator is accessible and free, so it'd be cheaper to just buy a cheap tablet or laptop and use that!

Are there any other accessible scientific calculators that they should look at?

I mean, they're not hard to make in software. I've made several myself.

I seem to have saved a few bits and bobs from the time of the currency change-over to the Euro. A few ads, newspaper clippings, and that Irish £ to € calculator which I’m pretty sure I used only about twice. My memory is that I got Euros out of an ATM after a New Year’s party at the Project Arts Centre … and that was it. Currency transition done.
