R47 Scientific Calculator
The R47 is a powerful, RPN-based programmable scientific calculator with an extensive feature set. Its software has been refined over many years, born from the vision of a dream calculator developed by a team of engineers and mathematicians, all dedicated calculator enthusiasts.
Community-developed and manufactured by SwissMicros, the R47 runs firmware that is functionally identical to that of the C47, which offers a way to transform a DM42n into a feature-rich RPN calculator using a dedicated keypad overlay.
The C47/R47 firmware originated as a fork of the WP43 project, itself derived from the WP34S. A core component carried through this lineage is the decNumber library by Mike Cowlishaw for precise decimal arithmetic.
I understand that the R47 firmware is not written, distributed, or maintained by SwissMicros, and I agree that any support for the R47 firmware will be requested and handled by the R47 team via email to support@47calc.com.
The software (firmware) is currently in beta.
