Calculate Activity
I don't have any examples. When I first got my G1G1 I tested the Boolean functions (see my notes on the Calculate talk page). I tried to use the calculator and was confused because I couldn't find any documentation of what it actually does (especially the window on the right). I am quite pleased to find that it does plot! There are also questions as to whether this activity can work with the Pippy activity, somehow.
