Hi all,

I am a dedicated linux user and entering school now I am required to have a TI.  So I went out and bought a Titanium.  I have been through and downloaded and installed the different versions of TI stuff that I could find for linux and I find the present support for linux to be a bit out of date.

Therefore, I have started a new project with the objective to code some simple command line utilities to work with my calculator.  By leaving out all of the GUI stuff (KDE, etc.) it should make the utilities usable for a greater length of time with less maintenance.

I am currently able to do a directory listing, take a screenshot and get the device information listing.  This has been coded specifically for my Titanium over the USB link and it works.

Source and compiled binaries (for a 2.6 kernel and libusb-1.0) are at http://calcutils.tuxfamily.org

Take a look if you like.  There is a link for an email to provide feedback as well.

Hi and welcome here

Seems interesting. Keep in mind that TiLP is still updated regulary now, though, since it was taken over by other people. However, I guess your project might be useful in case TiLP would ever stop getting updated again and for people who prefer command-line-based stuff rather than GUI stuff

Well for Kevin it would be up to him to decide if his version of TiLP goes this way, cuz he decided to go alone for development. I think Lionel and TheStorm has more chances to cooperate in such software dev. Kevin did not want to cooperate so when the original TiLP author retired, the community ended up with two TiLP projects, one called CalcForgeLP. I wish when they released new OSes that they kept backwards compatibility in mind. A lot of my games from the late '90s works perfectly on Windows 7 64 bits, but I had an hard time with Warcraft III installer, TI-Connect and TI-Nspire Link software (until the patches). I didn,t realise on Linux the same thing happened

I like the idea of some lightweight, command-line link software. Keep up the good work
Is Nspire support planned?

Well thought.

The README is well written and for Linux users that know how to deal command line there is nothing much to say.
I would only include the supported calculators in the documentation of the packages for now. Too bad there is no 83+ calculator supported.

Will be any utility to send and receive files?
I suggest that for sending, you put the files you want to send in a folder and call the program from command line or bash script.
And for receiving have options to receive all variables of a certain types (normally we will use programs, apps, appsvars and pics though)

For single and certain files receive/sending I would do my bash script but would be nice to provide some examples in the documentation.
