Another secret revealed!

TI has also publised a 3.1 firmware update for the TI-Nspire LabStation cradle.

The file has a TLO extension, and is built exactly like an Nspire OS installation file... Meaning that it also contains a Boot2 and a downgrade protection.


And if the TI-Nspire LabStation craddle had its own ARM CPU and was just a TI-Nspire calculator without screen and keyboard?

I notice the 8010 field in this OS is "0D". Finally, that mysterious gap in the product ID numbering is filled:
0C = TI-Nspire CAS
0D = TI-Nspire Lab Cradle
0E = TI-Nspire
0F = TI-Nspire CX CAS
10 = TI-Nspire CX
11 = TI-Nspire CM CAS
12 = TI-Nspire CM

After the 3.1 OS for the mysterious TI-Nspire CM CAS calculator, Adriweb might have discovered a new proof that this model has been planned / does exist.

Is it worth upgrading 3.0.2 to 3.1.0? seeing that I have a touchpad CAS with battery installed... Does it shows the battery percentile in a more detailed way than steps of 25%?

EDIT: BTW I didn't post for a while...

It sucks that in USA some users are forced to upgrade by their teachers. I'm betting that this is why there are so few ASM/C coders around anymore, because a lot of people do not know how to downgrade or anything and Ndless is not available for OS 3.x yet.

That too, not to mention there are some cool Lua games, which won't work on OS 2.1. Also, not everyone who get a TI-Nspire will know there are calculator forums on the web. When I got my TI-83+ in July 2001, it took me a few months before I discover there was an online community of TI programmers.

By the way Lionel have you noticed that shortly after OS 3.0.2 release and the lower amount of news about Ndless 3.0 and for the CX, a lot of members here who were ARM ASM/C programmers stopped posting or even showing up and now today the C section is almost dead? I'm pretty sure TI's actions hurt the community badly, because a lot of people like C Nspire Lua limits will be pushed much faster than C/ASM. Granted, Lua is easier apparently, but it sucks that on one OS serie you got Lua only and the others you got ASM/C only. It's not Ndless development fault either, because ExtendeD worked hard on it. It's just TI that seems to absolutely want to prevent ASM/C from being used on the Nspire.

If it was easy, I would compile the monthly posting stats of Omnimaga and separate data in categories: 83+ series, Nspire, Prizm and others. Do you bet that the Nspire category have taken a considerable drop compared to the rest?

They should make a CX clickpad. The clickpad's dpad is so much smoother than the touchpad, not to mention it actually knows which way you pushed it.

Yeah and it won't continue moving in the same direction during the entire time the dpad is touched, regardless of the direction you press. Also I noticed on my CX that the touchpad is pretty unresponsive at first. I have to tap it down at least 5 times before the cursor appears.

What? so we can't hold it down and allow the cursor to continue moving?
Well I'm kinda lucky i have a clickpad, but not really since TI is not really supporting clickpads at all by releasing new versions and making the older ones unsuppported to a certain degree.

EDIT: Wait i remember using someone elses touchpad...

Oh wow, that's not even a touchpad at all. That's a "choose your direction and hold it down as long as you want without changing direction" navigation device. I thought the touchpad was better than that.
