Yup, it is definitely a micro USB. Pretty much any phone/tablet charger you might have will work just fine.

What is probably messing you up is that it is a micro-A. In other words, it can also act as a host. The normal cable you are thinking about is the micro-B. A micro B cable can go into a micro-A, as can also the host end of a micro AB cable. Here's a picture and some more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_USB#Mini_and_Micro_connectors.

I believe unless I am remembering wrong that the nspire uses a mini-A on the calculator, so a similar thing would happen if you compared those with the common (now deprecated) mini-B.

Got one question please, I don't see how to programmatically set angle unit to degrees. Thank you !

HAngle:=1 or HAngle:=0   (home angle)  Take a look in your VARS->HOME->SETTINGS for others.

Although I work for the HP calculator group, the comments and opinions I post here are my own.

The TI-Nspire calculators have a mini-AB connector.

This is my question: What are the advantages of the HP PRIME in relative to the TI-NSPIRE and CASIO PRIZM?
Less locked down and its on-calc language is much more complete and faster than the disaster that is TI-Nspire Basic. The Nspire has Lua, although to program it on-calc you need to use a third-party tool and Lua isn't as fast for certain things (except filled shape rotation, but now that the Prime has triangle and polygon support, I bet that rotation could be implemented through those).

I tried that but it didn't work in the first place. Trying again...
EDIT : Now it works. I must have miss something the first time. Or maybe I was drunk.
Thank you ^^
