Simple exponents on an HP-16c

I’ve been on the prowl for an HP-16c for quite some time to add to my rather large calculator collection. My daily driver for the last 25 years is an HP-32SII. Simple, rugged, reliable, and does everything I need it to do.

I stumbled on a kit that runs an emulated HP-16c and took the plunge. It was about 1/4 of the price of even the cheapest original devices on eBay and with an aluminum frame, it looked worth a try. Plus, there’s something cool about assembling things yourself.
