Post your ideas for new miscellaneous programs here, or build on ideas posted by other visitors.

After reading about hooking a USB drive to a calc I had this idea. Someone should write a program that lets the calc act as a USB mass storage DEVICE, not as the host. Just imagine, with this program running on the calc, you could transfer files to/from the calc on ANY computer, ANY OS, and no software on the computer. I'm not sure this would be easy or practical, but I bet it could be done.

If anybody actually reads this I will be astonished.

I dont have a clue if this would work, and I kinda don't think it will, but is someone wrote a mod, or a hook, or somthing (I dont know! I only program basic) that would add a clock to the 83/83+. there would be a great ammount of new options in programming. I use an 84, so it's not so much for me, but still.

Hello all,

It's been a while that I have the idea to connect my slr to a TI 84 silver edition in order to produce time lapse movies. The problem is that I have neither the knowledge or the skill to do it, I even wonder if it is possible to do it.

Here are the facts:

_The jack 2.5 port is able to control the SLR (K100D from pentax)if you look at the jack, the external "port" -the one that is sticking out from the cable- is the one that control the shutter release. The port in the middle control the autofocus release -AF-, the one close to the cable is the one that act as the ground.

_When I attach the calculator to the SLR, and that I put the TI 84 to link mode and that I transfert a variable to the SLR, the camera fire one picture.

To sum it up, I would like to know if it is possible for you to make a programm that could fire the shutter release in a timely fashion, with the possibility to increase or dicrease the time between each frames (say 10 / 20 / 30 or 60 seconds). There is a whole lot of more ideas behind this function; but I think that just the ability to make time lapse without touching the camera would be great.

I forgot to give you the adress

does anybody know how to send the value "10" every 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or 60 seconds, I am trying to do some time lapse photography but I don't know how to time the send function so it can do that over and over...

I have found this program, but id does not seems to work on my ti 84 silver edition

Prompt time
1->i
time*65 -> time
while 1=1
if mod(i,time)=0 then
disp i/time
try
Send list1 ### you have to make this and save it in main, I don't think the value's important
Else
EndTry
EndIf
i+1->1
EndWhile

Can anyone telle me why? please?

Hi!
Have anyone of you a Time-Table for the TI 83?????
FAST PLEASE!!!!!!!

I am good at programs every program i have figured every program by my self but i need 52 variables that can be recalled in a program in an if statment please help

Many people realize that TI-BASIC is a lot different from ASM. Of course, regular BASIC and even C++ is different from TI-ASM and can't do things such as displaying images or deleting programs.

But I'm well experienced with Microsoft QBasic, and I noticed that there is very little difference between QBasic and TI-ASM (I'm talking for the TI-83+ and the TI-84+). And QBasic is about the easiest programming language one can learn.

So, I'm working on a computer utility to convert QBasic to TI-ASM.

THE ADVANTAGES:

1. Programs converted to TI-ASM will be as fast as, or just a tensy-bit slower than normal ASM programs.
2. A programmer can debug in the QBasic code without having to convert to ASM first. With this method, debugging is safer and is FAR easier and convienent.
3. QBasic is easy and fast! ASM programs will be constructed faster and easier.

hey does anyone know what the "execlib" and "openlib" commands do? i have a ti 84+.

Hey, does anyone know whether it is legal to edit the TI 83 plus operating system (deleting functions to create memory space for user-programmed functions)?

I ask because I think it would be cool to delete things like the function grapher and its associated functions, a lot of menu operations, etc. to make room for a 3d engine for gaming.

I imagine that if you want to retore it, you could just back it up to your computer first using TIConnect.

Any Ti-Basic programmers (TI-83+/TI-84+) who want to do ASM, but don't have time/knowledge?

Check out Basic+ at unitedti.org! This is a project I'm working on that may be of great help to you.

Heres a idea that will open a huge word for making tests easier. Memory Menu Emu. (rolls off the tounge). Create a program in assembly of course that would replicate perfectly the 2nd+Mem menu's and through the reset menu etc. and when a teach clears one's memory, or thinks she did, it won't have cleared anything.

i've started, but my assembly is shaky and i'm having problems just finishing the menu's alone.

And after this is developed, a key hook to recognize when 2nd+Mem is pressed without having the program started, and then start the program and emulate the menu.

Of course theres probably going to be a teacher reading this, just hope she's not in my school district...

Okay, so I wasn't sure where to post this, but I have a question:
How do you delete a program that you've created but don't want/need anymore?
I tried higlighting it and hitting 'delete,' editting it and deleting from there, and other methods, but it doesn't go away. I can't even rename it.
Anyone know?
Help is much appreciated!

Could someone recomend a tutorial to learn how to make an os? My main goal is to incorporate a Assembly program writer into the regular OS for the TI 84. Much like the basic editor. If there are reasons why this is not possible, then go ahead and respond w/ a flaming comment to ruin my hopes and dreams. Also, much obliged if you do, would anyone like to volunteer to help me write this os? Maybe even DIY? Thanks, and if you have nothing constructive to say, don't say it.

I think what is needed the most, is a group of people to hack the .8xu files and create a full OS to incorporate several things:
1. Automatic lowercase lettering, no mirage hooks needed
2. Merging assembly code into basic, or a full asm editor app on the calc
3. Copy/Rename programs or apps
4. Passcoding your calculator with a user set password.
5. (for SOLs/ACTs/or other school tests) false memory menu so when the 'clear' you calc it says it did, but nothing happens.
6. Plugins. VERY MUCH NEEDED
7. Maybe even adding the ability to create files to store info for basic programs, like asm programs do.

Here is an idea: I'm using a MacOsX laptop with an unfriendly number pad, and I'm usually slowed down a lot while entering numbers. It would be really useful to be able to use the TI as an external number pad with as much functionality as possible (SIN, π, (), LOG, etc...). It would be even more useful if it could work with the Maple software (which is what I really want it for). I've searched for a couple of days now and have found some similar drivers, but they weren't quite what I need. If you know of one please email me.

Hey everyone, I am currently developing a shell that simulates a computer but allows access to things like the Y= editor screen, the matrix editor screen, etcetera. My question is if I could use the context equates (as they are called in ti83plus.inc) to let them access the wanted screens and then when they are done they automatically return to the shell. Here's what I mean:

:Lbl 3
:Menu("Shell", "Quit", A,"Matrix Editor" ,B)
:Lbl A
:Stop
:Lbl B
:Asm(prgmMATEDI)
:Goto 3

And in prgmMATEDI, the code would be:

.nolist
#include "ti83plus.inc"
.list
.org $9D93
.db t2ByteTok, tAsmCmp
call kMatrixEd ;Leads to matrix editor, I hope.
.end
.end

If I'm right, this will go to the matrix editor and after the person finishes, the ASM program is ended and :Goto 3 takes the user back to the main menu. Is there any accuracy in this statement? My skills in assembly language are marginal and as of yet I don't trust my knowledge enough to try this on my own calculator.

I just have an idea about a program which automatically activates
"alpha" key after pressing "sto". (because almost always you are going
to store something in a variable after using this button)
[At least I didn't find any program which can do this, if you know one
would you please send me a name or address?]

Has anyone tried to program a c++ compiler for the z80

Why hasn't anybody created an app for 84+ or SE yet that allows you to access the Internet from your calc? Just plug in a Wi-Fi adapter to the USB Mini port and get in a hotspot.
I don't know how to write apps, but I would imagine it would be possible. The downside would be the black & white screen.

I already made an Internet Explorer simulator and a Mozilla Firefox simulator in BASIC, but they don't really work. Can somebody please help????
