I need someone capable of build an RF transmitter for the Texas Instruments 83 calculator. I have the schematic for it, ( http://renaud.cerrato.free.fr/old/PIC92.htm ) so for someone that knows what theyre doing it would only be a matter of putting the parts together and testing to insure that it works. Obviously i am willing to pay for parts for the project and for the best offered price for the labor. If youre intrested email me at schmidtzen (at@) gmail (dot.) com. If you know a more appropriate place on the internet where i could post this request, also please let me know.

First problem I see is the bottom PCB layout is missing, along with other items. So it would have to be re-captured and re-done. So it is not
a matter of putting the parts on. Making two double sided boards is also not just putting parts on as well. Testing it will require making a tester or hacking some terminal device up, not as simple as putting parts on (unless the person building it has two of these calculators and the software)

If you have the top and bottom, you could build it yourself with a little
direction from this forum.

wat the hecks a PCB layout? what other items are missing?

I went to the website. I see the top layer of the PCB, but not the bottom (the main PCB layer for your project).. So whoever wants to help you has to capture the schematic and generate the PCB layout all over (and make it fit in a calculator they probably do not own).

In other words, not everything needed is there. How many takers did you have on your project?? This is not a "would only be putting parts together and testing" project. Or maybe parts of the website were down when I looked.

The site was down until now and the Bottom PCB layout for this project is now available ( http://renaud.cerrato.free.fr/old/PIC_92/Bottom.jpg )

Additionally, I think its only making one board and using two premade boards.

I will supply the calculators if needed. please let me know if anything else is missing. Please email me at schmidtzen (at@) gmail (dot.) com if you are intrested.

OK, mstechca is doing a glossary.. And I still do not carry a speaker, battery or sharp knife with me when I go to a job. But I am sure MacGyver does. Maybe a paperclip would be a good tool too (I can get a CD out of a PC with it).

Blueroom asked the magic question.. How much money (mind you I would still ask, why would one want calculators to talk to each other in a room (and they will provide the calcs for the project) Cheat in class? No girl in the school will be impressed with this). But anyway, that is a good question. Sure the calculators are worth a couple bucks. Hold them until you get paid.

My big question... Did Nigel fall off the planet? Hope all is well with him.

I am even willing to order the board from www.PCBexpress.com if someone is willing to rewrite the schematics in gerber

can someone provide feedback as to why no ones particularly intrested and what would make this project more attractive?

Is there any power point slide show to teach the 8051 microcontroller? (AT 89s51/ 52 ) Interefacing LCD, ADC, SENSORS, MATRIX KEYBOAD ETC.., All the chapters from Mazidi Book

This is one of my pet hates in forums and seems to be happening an awful lot recently.
