Electron.8xp for the TI-83+ Electron Pro v2.1 By Richard Deiner For comments please e-mail richard@h2inventions.com Readme.txt created 9/19/2002 Preamble: As far as I know, TI Basic cannot harm or reset your calculator. Any such occurrences that may occur I will therefore presume is user carelessness and I will not be held Responsible for such situations. [VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you are running this program through mirage os and it won’t start [ Check to make sure that you have at least 10k of ram free by pressing [ [VARS] while running mirage [ [ This program was made to be completely self sufficient (thus the size) [ so you have the ability to keep your ram as available as possible [ by using mirage os and keeping electron in the archive (83p,83pSE) Features: "Base Converter" From what I had seen of base converters they were slow and fairly large as well as being pretty confusing so I added a base converter that is very easy to understand and ran in a fairly quick manor and now there is very little need to exit the program or the shell "Simultaneous calculations" I developed this program to save time in any way possible so I added a feature where several things are calculated at once such as the series circuit calculations it not only gives you all of the formulas to find voltage, Resistance and so on but it calculates them all at one time so when your looking for current I checks the values that you give and gives you (Power, Resistance, Voltage, and Current) at the same time. The same is true for the Voltage conversion section "Laws and Theory" With this program you can find a side or angle using the Law of Cosines. "Voltage Conversions" I have not seen a program that converts voltage on the ti 83 yet so as far as I know this is the first of its kind it will convert any voltage type, say Vpp can be converted to any other voltage (Vpp, Vp, Vavg, Vrms) and it does them all at the same time so you put in your voltage and it automatically gives you all the voltage values on a list giving you (Vpp, Vp, Vavg, Vrms) all at once. "Resistor Calculator" This part lets you find resistance values by putting in the colors of the resistor there is a special key operation so that some colors arent as simply marked as possible but it tells you the entire color code and the symbols you need to put in for each color overall this is a very simplified part of the program and fairly easy to figure out, Also if you know the colors numeric value you can just put in the number. "Parallel Resistance Solver" I know this is a program addition that has been needed for a long time you can find the total resistance of any parallel branch by putting in the number of resistors and giving each value. "Logic Gates" This program allows you to see the output of any logic gate from the and gate to the xnor although this is some what a built in function of the 83 you can now do this without having to restart the program or exit any shell. "Basic Math" This is a simple part of the program that I added so that you could do basic calculations on your 82,83,83p,or 83pSE without exiting any of the main shells like mirage os or ion you can find this option in the options part of the Theory section. "Self teaching " One Day I noticed that the several people in my class were using my program instead of learning electronics being a third year student at the time I knew the importance of truly learning the formulas, so I updated the program so that it would give you the formula while solving it and silently dispensed the new version amongst the class now anytime that you enter a solving section of my program it will automatically give you the formula at the top of the screen. Creation Idea: If your not interested in learning about how I came up with this then your done reading. Anyways, while sitting in Electronics, Avionics and Engineering at the (East Valley Institute of Technology) I found some work particularly tedious. Before long I got into programming and made several programs for electronics what you are seeing today is the culmination of the most important I do plan on releasing several updates in the future. And I hope this program will help you as much as it helped me About The Author ================ I am a student at the East Valley Institute of Technology now taking Hydrogen Technologies as well as avionics I wrote these programs in electronics and there are many more than just this one in my series so if you are looking for electronics programs you can search for (Electronics Pro) and you will find my programs thanks for downloading this program and I hope you find this a very helpful tool To learn more about me ====================== Here are some websites you can look at to see more about Hydrogen Technologies or just me or to learn more about hydrogen power.
