USB Cable for 84+
« on: May 31, 2011, 06:21:39 pm »
I realized that not all of the 84+(SE) users had usb to mini usb b cables to hook their calc directly into their PC.  So, I went to Amazon, looked around, and found one.  I'm 99% sure it'll work, but since it's quite cheap there's really no harm done if it actually doesn't work.  Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-27329-Mini-B-Cable/dp/B00006B6PH/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1306880214&sr=8-2
Enjoy. :D

Nice find!
But if you have a Prizm, the USB cable that came with that should work as well. I was able to connect to gCN once over DUSB with it. (No one was on, but I did properly connect to oblithub)


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Indeed. I somtimes use the micro USB to usb cable that came with my PS3, and it works perfectly (until ti-connect stopped working and ti-lp doesn't do much either...)

 - Oxo, with single-calc multiplayer and AI (axe) RELEASED (screenshot) (topic)
 - An android version of oxo (java)  ACTIVE
 - A 3D collision detection library (axe) RELEASED! (topic)(screenshot)(more recent screenshot)(screenshot of it being used in a tilemapper)
Spoiler For inactive:

Yeah when connecting my TI-Nspire I sometimes used my digital camera cable. In most cases you should have no problem.

Mirco USB is not the same as Mini USB.  The calc uses an OTG Mini USB cable.  And yes, it's the same as most cameras use.  Nice handy little cable.

You can use any miniusb cable for calc to pc.  For usb8x and the like it must be mini-a, which is damn near impossible to find.

Unless of course, you order it online.

What I did was just take a mini-b and stick a piece of metal between two of the pins...works great for me.

And yeah, I keep finding the calc-pc cables everywhere :P
