Connecting to my TI-nspire CAS from a Mac and installing programs?
« on: September 13, 2011, 11:11:46 pm »
I've looked all over the internet and I need help.  I can't figure out how to connect to my calculator from my Mac.  The program I got off the TI website from a tutorial didn't work for nspires.  Another program I tried to use wouldn't open at all.  I've tried my darndest and I need your help.  :P

What can I do?

Use TilP, the open source, vastly better community linker prog.

Here it is, for OSX

1.15 and up run the nspire quite well.


For installing asm progs you need ndless, for Lua/BASIC you don't need anything else.

I have no idea how to successfully compile this for mac.  Is there ANY way of connecting to this calculator that involves just running an application?  I am just dumbfounded that TI doesn't have ANY software that can connect me to my TI that actually works.  This is ridiculous.

I'm on a Mac and I have used TI Npsire Computer Link software for a long time.

Howevern this one is not distributed anymore I think.

You can use TI's Nspire Computer Software (Student edition) tho.

Give the demo a try ;)

Turns out there was a CD that came with the calculator allllll allloong! It works just fine.  Yay!  Is there a copy of OS v2.0.1?  I need this version, not the 3.x, for certain reasons...  Mostly involving Pokemon.  ;) Found

I noticed ndless said I had to install it each reboot.  Does that mean I just have to open the installer every reboot or does it mean I have to plug it in and do it all over again or something?

And will this emulator work with ndless 2.0?  And what will happen if I open it without ndless installed? (e.g I just rebooted or something)

I think running the installer is enough, but I'm not sure.

You should use this patched version instead: http://ourl.ca/3840/236372

It will probably display an error message that says something like "this document is not supported".

Yeah, I already resolved all this (and actually have Mario and Doom on it right now XD) myself, but really, thanks for answering.  It means a lot to me that this forum is so active, it's more active at EST midnight than the forums I usually go to at noon! XD

The midnight activity is due to the fact that a great deal of our members are in europe, and a great deal are also in the US. Account for the fact that we'll be getting on anywhere from 3PM-1AM and you've pretty much got 24 hour coverage. :P

Congrats on getting it all set up! Now you should try programming something for yourself on it!
