I am inputting my numbers and math functions with buttons...
switchGirl said:Well, it seems I have ended up also having to make a calculator program for work. Normally, I would say that it is a dumb idea to use a PLC for this; however, we have to build one that its life size for a childrens' museum. This means I can't hack into a calculator and it has to run for years on end. However, if anyone knows of a calculator circuit (something like the keyboard emulators) I would much prefer to use that.
In the meantime, I have to figure out how to do a calculator on a PLC06. So, please keep responding to this forum, its the only help i've gotten in the past month.
Thank you.

Perhaps you should spend a little more time on this forum before you start judging the other members. rdrast has been a member of this forum quite a bit longer than yourself and in that time has no doubt helped countless PLCers, including me.Protiusmime said:Believe me, your disdain far outweighs your demonstration of PLC knowledge, and even more, leaves a far worse lasting impression of disrespect for yourself.
