TI Calculator IR Link
« on: October 21, 2010, 09:27:26 pm »
I was browsing this page on ticalc.org: http://sami.ticalc.org/irlink/e_intro.htm

I was wondering, would this be possible to use on the current TI-89 Titanium.  I see there is a version of the link program available for the original TI-89/TI-92, but I question whether it would work on the TI-89 Titanium.  I kinda want to build this link, but I wouldn't want to have to write a link program myself, so if the program won't work in the first place, it would be pointless to build the hardware.  Could anyone here provide some insight on this?  Thank you! :)

ooh! Nice find apcalc! Hehe.. chatting was on the bulleted list wasn't it? So.. doesn't that include IRC? ;)
also if that thing is built, and if this is not too hard to do, it should include instructions/request parts to make it an easy DIY project too.

haha that's what I was thinking too. If so, then.. well, I don't think that it would have a practical use for purpose. Although its awesome that you can play person 2 person games via that thing, I don't think you would meet anyone who would have it to play it with even x.x

Woah that site brought back old memories from when I first found ticalc.org. It must be really old as it got the logo from 2.5 years before I started browsing ticalc. That project was nice, it would be cool if it worked for the 89T

osh it does but it has to be for slower games that dont flip the pins to fast

Quote from: sami
Line State mode: *

In this mode the PIC senses everytime the state of the calc pins changes, and it will send the information to other PIC, which sets the lines according to what he recieved.   
This mode is somewhat slow, but it enables the use of every protocol, eg. I2C.   
To work correctly the calc has to change the lines not too fast.
