C.Basic - CASIO Basic IDE for fx-9860 and fx-CG calculators

C.Basic ("c-dot-basic") is the reference implementation of CASIO Basic, written in CASIO SDK for fx-9860 and miniSDK for fx-CG calculators.

The add-in lets you incorporate SDK-exclusive features to your CASIO Basic programs in calculator, without having to worry about the cumbersome debugging environment of C/C++.

At this moment, only the interpreter part is implemented (hence the dot in the add-in name). In the future, C.Basic will evolve into C:Basic ("c-colon-basic") which includes a compiler.

Supported calculators

This is a simplified list of supported calculators. For an exact calculator model list, click here.

Edition Calculators
FX fx-9750GIII/9860, Graph 35+EII/75/85/95
CG fx-CG10/20/50, Graph 90+E

Features

  • Achieve add-in like performance with little to no modifications to existing CASIO Basic programs
  • Access and edit programs directly in SMEM and SD card
  • Robust editor with features from modern IDE — syntax highlighting, indentation, variable/matrix lookup and debugging
  • Extended commands with CASIO Basic style syntax
  • Emulate G1M runtime environment in fx-CG calculators

Things to know

  • If you are an fx-CG10 or fx-CG20 user, C.Basic will ask you if you wish to overclock your calculator to achieve the performance of an fx-CG50.
    • The overclocking mechanism is based on Ptune2, an overclocking add-in developed by the same author of C.Basic. Upon agreement, C.Basic will apply the F3 preset of Ptune2.
    • Please keep in mind that damage caused by overclocking (and using this add-in) will not be covered by CASIO's warranty, and the author is not responsible for any loss caused by user's improper operations.
    • You can disable the Auto OverClk setting to prevent this prompt from being displayed at each startup.
  • As C.Basic uses floating point to express numbers instead of binary-coded decimal that CASIO Basic uses, handling non-integers calculations may cause approximation errors. You are advised not to use C.Basic for applications involving serious calculations.
  • Please note that the file manager of C.Basic is not yet optimized with calculators featuring the Fugue filesystem. See #1 for more details.
