The HP 39/40 (aka Conn3x) connectivity kit allows you to transfer aplets(tm), list, matrices, programs and notes from your HP39G+ (including HP39gs, HP40gs) calculator to your PC.

In order to use the HP 39/40 connectivity kit, you must have installed the HP Graphing Caluculator USB drivers (available on the CD) and have properly connected your HP 39/40 calculator to your PC using the provided USB cable.

Download the following files:

  • HP 39/40 Calculator Connectivity Kit Version 2.1 Build 1218
    To install it, you should first un-install the existing software if you've installed the CD version. Then download the package into an empty directory, unzip it, and run the SETUP.EXE file.
  • HP Graphing Calculator USB Driver - extract them directly into C: and the "UsbDriver" subfolder will be created.
  • Tetris2, a very nice Tetris game for all HP graphing calculators. Create a folder name "C:|9GP" and unzip the content there.

When you plug in the HP calculator, the computer will prompt you "Found New Hardware Wizard". Follow the wizard by click the Next button. When prompted "File Needed", type C:UsbDriver and then click Ok.

To use the HP 39/40 connectivity kit, connect your HP 39/40 to your PC, turn it on and start the HP 39/40 connectivity kit.

In order to transfer date from/to the calculator to/from the PC:

  1. On the PC, Start the HP Calculator Connectivitiy Kit.

Hi Ariel,

OZ Joshua had developed NoteMaker some years ago. You should be able to download it from JKING OK. There are sufficient information there to get you going.

In reply to Ariel:

Hi, the current (new) version does not have the "Log" button. You should still be able to transfer aplets and notes to your calc.

In reply to Ariel:

In reply to :
This tetris aplet can´t be deleted and causes calculator errors... there seems to be something in the code which makes it keep communicating with your calculator´s chip so it drains the batteries and then, eventually, the calculator breaks down. Unfortunately, there´s no way to delete it if you have this problem; however, the problem only seems to happen for those who use the 2player mode.

We could perform a Factory Reset to the calculator. See link: http://www.educalc.net/1120482.page. If the battery is drained, you could replace with a fresh set of batteries.
