Mix Calculator 4.0 : Software to make your own mixes

** New Mix Calculator **

I was really frustrated with the old mix calculator (Mix calculator 3.0: software for calculations to create your own mixes) as many users could not install it because of MS office incompatibilities. So I completely revamped the software. The new Mix calculator does not use office Excel and has a new input method which is even easier to use.

It can be downloaded from:

I have tried it multiple times and think it’s free of calculation errors (but if you do discover any bugs then let me know).

Enjoy!

I moved this down to the theory section because I honestly believe more members will get value from it. I think there are some ladies and others who don’t even visit the mens section.

awesome nbully works like a charm!!!

4

excellent nbully, thanks a lot. Could you post the code for it as well? I am hoping to make a java based version for all to use, rather than just windows based.

5

Will check out in morning

6

Link to code added in the original post. How soon can we expect a java version?:slight_smile:

Great WORK nbully79

I have been using my own excel tables, because i got some problems with the older versions.

i will now check the new one

8

i’ll be working on it along side my school work of the same caliber, I would imagine it would be ready in September sometime

9

I tried opening it with my MAC. I am not a tech guy so maybe the answer to my questions is obvious now but I rather double check: Is this calculator compatible with MAC? If so, How should I proceed once I unzipped the doc? If not, I guess that gives me a hint on why Mco will work on a Java version to make it accessible to all. :o

10

haha yea V, its only windows compliant now. But thats why i am making a java version- friendly for most operating systems!

11

MCO-

Cool. I look forward to it. I can run in Parallels, VMWare, Boot Camp and VirtualBox, but a nice little Java app would be nice.

I wondered about putting all the products into Excel and giving info on effects, usage, mixing, recipes, etc. Has anyone discussed that? That might not be too hard to do, it just might take a while to input everything and make it link well and look pretty.

12

i get the same error like the last versions.

i got everything installed. strange
this happens when the calculate button is clicked

13

idle, walk me through the steps that you perform before you get the error. I think there is some field that needs to be entered which you are leaving blank.

14

Available ml/spray this one is empty (0).

But even if i fill it up.. i get the same error.

i set up component @ spray and alcohol @ spray.
set up the other things then input.
and then fill the info.

strange.. i cant figure it out either.. why it doest wana calculate here :slight_smile:

15

This is what the calc should look like before you press “Calculate”.

Hi idle,

Please check out this post for entries that need to be completed before you press calculate:

My experiences with the sense of smell: Before you press “Calculate” in the Mix calculator

Hope this helps.

One more thing: Do you use comma to indicate decimal or a period? (Would you write 0,125 instead of 0.125? That might be a problem.)

17

Probably something is wrong with this system.
its not your aplication fault.

I also couldn’t run it either. An error box said something about a library wasn’t installed. This was under a fresh XP install.

Hey idle, can you please copy and paste the Exception text from the error prompt here. Thanks!
