Sinclair Scientific Calculator Oshpark Edition

author: ArduinoEnigma
Top
Bottom

2 layer board of 2.01 x 4.41 inches (51.0 x 112.0 mm)
Uploaded: June 26, 2018
Shared: July 10, 2018
Total Price: $44.30

A very accurate emulator, the physical size, keyboard and display circuit are the same as the original calculator.

Download SinclairScientific7 from GitLab.com to make it work. Uncomment line 52 (#define CommonAnode) and comment line 53 (#define CommonCathode) in SinclairScientific7.ino

Uses an Arduino Nano or clone.

RKO/RKN are 4.7K, this is just a path to ground for the ADC.
R1..8 are 1K, smaller resistors makes it brighter

Buttons are standard 6x6x5mm.
You can also use 6x6x4.3mm to make the keys a little harder to push, like the original calculator.
For more accuracy, use blue for numbers and white for everything else.

Uses 3 displays type: 2352B / 2352BS

Power Switch is:
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=L8.5*W3.5MM+3P+2T+Mini+Toggle+%2F+Slide+3mm

Power comes from a 4 AAA battery holder attached with double sided sticky tape to the back of the keyboard, The width of the holder should be 50mm or less

4 M2 hexagonal standoffs keep it off the table.
