HP 50g & Word Calc 1.2 file exchanging problem

[stameni]

Hello *.*

I downloaded text editor Word Calc 1.2, installed it to my HP 50g, and it worked. However I don't know how to exchange files between Word Calc and the PC. I tried to use SEND / RECV options (via USB) in the Word Calc, and nothing happened.

So I belive that problem is up to software. The PC software I tried to use was HPUserEdit v5.4.0.850. Should I upgrade or simply use different PC software?

I should notice that using Conn4x (50g calculator connectivity kit) works perfectly with the USB interface. Word Calc alone works fine, too.

Thanks,

Ivan

You can, use ...

Debug4x - http://www.hpcalc.org/details/5441 and http://www.hpcalc.org/details/5456

EMACS - http://www.hpcalc.org/details/3940

For transfer, to PC IMHO, is better copy first the file, in SD and after copy to PC.

You can see, the SDFILER version 1.0 - http://www.hpcalc.org/details/6524

Using Emacs or Debug4x seems as an overkill. I do not need that powerful editors. All I need is a utility for PC to make ASCII documents, and a small Utility for 50g -- like Word Calc -- to display it (and make some small changes to the document).

I tried using HPUserEdit 6, and the same happened.

I'll try contacting Word Calc's author and ask him how he managed file exchange between PC and HP 50g.

Thanks, anyway...

Contacting the author is impossible, because both email addresses he included do not function any more.

Hi!, @stameni:

If use the better editor as HPUserEdit6, you can create global variable, in HOME (VAR).

1: 'file name' STO

Then, you can copy directly with FILES, (left shift white + APPS keys), in SD.

You can use, SDMC <= 2Gb., with FAT16 format. The SD, what compliant with excelente performance HP, Sandisk, Kingston, ADATA, etc ...

Learn, the use of SD ... https://support.hp.com/es-es/product/hp-50g-graphing-calculator/3235173/document/c01974483

With the file in the SD, you can copy to PC directly, with one card reader.
