I must be nuts.
I am working on a calculator project that uses nixie tubes for a display.
I want to use a telephone magneto to charge up a cap to run the thing.
Kinda a steam punk RPN HP type of calculator.
I am stuck on what to use for buttons. I am thinking elevator buttons.
Large oak case. Just crank it for 10 seconds and then do your calculation.
I am also conflicted as to how many buttons.
Square and square root for sure.
Undecided about log, trig functions and whether or not to have scientific
notation. I think I will.
How many digits to display? Probably 5. Engineering mode only. 3 dot 2
display.
Also considering multiple lines to show 4 levels of the stack but I doubt I
will actually do that.
The question is: will I ever finish this thing?
