Hey everyone, sorry for not posting any updates the past month. Because I've been busy working on several projects and lack funding, I haven't really made much progress (was hoping to get some boards built by now). Hopefully, no one thought the project was dead. :)

I currently (as of now) don't have the capital to finance the UberGraphX project and some of you were disappointed that I wouldn't be working on the Cortex A8 design anymore, so I came up with this plan. The past couple of weeks, I've been working on a design of a graphing calculator that's comparable to the TI-nSpire CX and Casio Prizm (but with some cooler features :thumbsup:). I'm planning on releasing the first drafts of the schematics and CAD files for this design sometime this week. All the hardware and software will be open, so anyone can help along and provide suggestions. The plan is to use the profits from selling assembled versions of this graphing calculator to finance further development of the UberGraphX (Cortex A8 variant).

This new design is nowhere as powerful as the UberGraphX. Instead it's aimed as a cheaper and open source/hardware alternative to current mainstream calculators such as the TI-nSpire CX and Casio Prizm. The project will be formally announced sometime this week with more details.

What do you intend the price on this to be and how will you get sales?

Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

The plan is to be cheaper than the TI-nSpire CX, can't say for sure as of right now. The pricing will be more fair than anything else out on the market right now. As for sales, I'm hoping mainly that word of mouth will catch peoples attention. Other than that, I'm in talks right now to see if it would be possible to have some online stores stock the device.

2-3 months after the design is finalized, I'm hoping we can start shipping out working units. This graphing calculator isn't as complicated as the UberGraphX. The main goals of this new design is low cost and hand assembly (outsourcing the manufacturing won't be mandatory unlike the UberGraphX).

Nice seeing you again uberspire! Hope everything goes well for the UberGraphX ;D And thanks for the tips! I might be able to help a little bit with the UGX, but probly not much.

I think this is dead (sadly, like every other project like that that got announced on calc forums before). This is a bit why nowadays new similar projects tend to not get much attention from the community, because they come to birth and everyone is convinced that in 2 months it will no longer show any sign of life...

It looked really intriguing however. I could see this doing very well.

Dreamcalc died for two reasons: 1. I don't know assembly or C (ugh...). 2. I don't think I have moneys to buy an LCD, an Arduino, and whatever software I need. 3. I lost my notebook that had everything about the project ever in it.

why do you store those thing only on one place, even my silliest ti-basic games that aren't worth €0.01 (about 0.0134040 USD) are back-upped to anoter hdd..

Yeah it's best to save them at multiple places. I learned that after the floppy disk that included most of my old non-RPG BASIC games along with an old RPG engine for the now defunct ROL4 project died.
