[A83] Re: Beginner confused?
Do you know any other programming languages? BASIC is a good place to
start, TI-BASIC is fairly easy, and all of the commands are right there in
the calculator manual. TI-BASIC was my first programming language. I
don't really like assembly as much as I do C (because I'm lazy), so since
i got an 89 recently, I've been trying to learn a little
calculator-specific C stuff. TIGCC is a good C or assembly environment for
the 89 (http://tigcc.ticalc.org/), and TI's Flash Studio is another nice
utility.
For the 83, I use notepad (or any other text editor) and some DOS
utilities. This file:
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/178/17866.html has a
collection of tutorials and utilities for 83 plus development. IonGuru has
an error in the Ion Header though. "$BB,6D" should be changed to "$BB,$6D"
so that it is read as BB hexadecimal 6D hexadecimal instead of BB
hexadecimal 6 decimal.
A good instant messenger is also a good tool, but you can get more help
from more people via IRC (http://www.mirc.com/). Mostly in #tcpa on EFNet.
My AOL instant messenger screen name is CWAdams04 if you have any questions
I can help with. (I'm no TI expert or veteran like a lot of the guys on
this list though)
