Not a problem. Any progress on getting incremental erasing going on your device?

Oh, I finished that a long time ago.
Now I am just working on a better version of the hardware.

Good to hear, what does that entail? Are you going with the accelerometer idea, or are you just improving the spring and pin model some more?

As you saw from my video, the old piece was flimsy.
I have made a new one that is sturdy. In my old one, when shaken, the wires absorbed most of the shock. In this one, the I have the device in a small box that I adjusted. The box's width is nearly exactly the same as the calculator's width.
Same as you, I have it held on by two-sided tape.

In my program I have changed it to clear random pixels. I used the carrot key. In Axe the carrot key is not raising a number to some power, but is just a modulus command.

:For ( J,0,L ) "L is the number of pixels to be taken off. I have it adjustable later in the prog."
:Pxl-off (rand^96,rand^65)
:End


Right now I am weeding out some visual bugs. For some reason the text for L ( i have the # displayed in top left ) seems to be in poorly done gray-style.

I am not sure what's up with that.

Edit: I finished weeding out the visual bugs. Now I am off to optimize the coding. It is very sloppy right now.

I am going to include 3 links.
They are direct links to the downloads. I don't know how to attach files on here. The other reson is that Axe is not owned by me.

( decreases # off pixels deleted at shake

) increases # off pixels deleted at shake

+ and - adjust speed.

^ inverses all pixels

X and / are store picture and recall picture

clear closes the program.


NOTE:
1. please start the program before inserting the attachment.
2. please remove the attachment in your calculator before quiting the program.

if you fail to do this, your calculator will be stopped for about 5 seconds.
just to be safe, do a garbage collect if you mass these two things up

Sounds like fun, will you put up some photographs of your new device? I also hope to add some better pictures on mine. Good luck solving the bugs.

Ya, I haven't been home for a while. The computer here is extremely slow .
Ya, I am planning on posting some more on this.

Sounds good. People have been suggesting that I should make the erasures more randomly distributed across the screen, the that row/column method is nice but not the most realistic.

... delteted

Indeed, and you're welcome to discuss Axe here if you want.

All is good now.
I am just writing some documentation.

Good to hear, I hope you'll post it up in the archives here when you finish .

here is what i have so far. Need me to edit anything?


Code:

Well, lots of spelling, grammar, and organization problems, and it's a bit hard to read, but otherwise solid information.

It's written in notepad, of course it is hard to read.

Show me some spelling errors please. Except ones near the end.


Code:

Cheers on the credit, HappyBobJr. It's not the best prose ever, but it could be worse, I suppose.

working at food pantry again, they just called??!!
all my free time taken!!!

Sorry to hear it, hope you're able to get back to this at some point.

I just got home and took some pictures. I am remaking the part for the documentation.

And where are said pictures? I'd be quite interested to see the new build.

oh did i never show you?
This is my third i am working on
