Other Calculators / Re: People react to your calculator...

I go onto people's calculators and type
:While 1
:Disp rand
:End
And then watch them be totally amazed.

is it planned that the lua print() function will be back with serial printing?
It was asked.

People always joke about the fact that I would be able to put PDF in my TI-Nspire CX. Where they get stunned is when I answer them that in fact, yes, it is possible.

Lua / Re: Updating WZGUILib
« on: December 17, 2012, 06:57:50 pm »
So you have to copy and paste the library into the beginning of the program?

Hell yeah.

Woah. Even luafx can do better than that.

So if multiple programs use the same libraries, isn't that a whole lot of wasted space?
TNS files are zipped. This prevents us to see the crappy lack of space TI produces (that becomes LZW compressed).
Lua app is the best serialized app (it is simply not serialized). Other apps serialization is h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e.

LuaZM, it will be much easier to port that way

You do know that LuaZM doesn't support modules yet, right?
Neither TI' one

By the way, adapting a High level language script to a low level language (such as C) program is one of the most difficult thing to do : It is even easier to restart from scratch.

Again, why not a tablet or a laptop though? Those things already have the capability you require.

Are tablets or laptops allowed during your exams ?

Yes! The TI customer service told me that this device is able to also search
He lied to you. You can search only in the Program Editor, that is syntax checked before validation.

Glad it still fits in the Clickpad/Touchpad Nspire memory :P

I worry about the Arabic language, though: Is it very large? I hope it can be uninstalled if it's included with new OSes in the future (even if using community tools), to save space.
I know exactly what and where to delete it, but this won't save much space and will not prevent the OS not to install. Fonts are part of the phoenix core (RSA-2048 checked).
As I said, I know where it is ... in the RAM, so any modification in such way won't change anything, sadly.
(+ Ndless 3.3).

I'm curious; why do you need a program to fit a 1200 page text document on a calculator? It really isn't an ideal device for such a thing, and it has a pretty small screen as well. Why not use a tablet or a laptop? Or just view the document on a computer?
Think it as a student in an exam situation.

Only my guess <3

Edit : arf, grilled

Ndless / Re: General Ndless Questions and Support

I guess I'll see if int map[10080] works.
You may use malloc() if you still have issues

What are accessor macros?
Code: [Select]
#define WIDTH 100
#define GET(Tab, X, Y) ((Tab)[(X) * WIDTH + (Y))
....

int tile = GET(my_tab, 69, 42);

int map[252][40] causes it to crash, but that just may be from something in my code.
You can use bkpt() to put a breakpoint and see what line causes the crash (using the emulator and the 'c' command).

Is there a limit to array size?
When I try to store large map data in an array, it crashes the emulator when it is too big
It depends what type of array you're trying to initialize. If you're putting this as a global variable this can be the cause.

Also it doesn't recognize bool as a type :P
Booleans have been introduced in c99 with a simple enum but are highly unportable since in C, any value is true and 0 is false.
In C++ it has became a specific type with operators overloading enabling this behavior to be standard.
I suggest you not to use the BOOL macros of Ndless and use int, short or char as your boolean.

TI-Nspire / Re: Breakout board for the TI nSpire
« on: December 15, 2012, 11:22:40 am »
Hi,
I'm a bit confused on the way you'll try to connect to the dock connector ... using a dock connector ...

Indeed, if you look at any Nspire Cradle, you'll see that it has some brushes in order to keep every pin connected :
<img>

Yes, you're correct that I haven't explained it at all :-) . This connector is supposed to connect in a totally different way. I will have this board manufactured with 1mm thickness (a little bit thinner than the normal 1.6mm), so that it fits snug between the actual dock connector and the protective sliding cover over it. Onto the pads, a tiny coat of solder is applied so the connections are raised a bit. This should be enough to keep all contacts connected.

Sorry, but this does not work in real life : if pin 26 and pin 1 are higher of 10ยต than the others, numerous pin in the middle wont me connected and will be really annoying while used. Also, some of the pins may create sparks and may crash the calc (already experimented that).

Look at any USB connectors, it also has brushes and stoppers.

Also, 1mm is really tiny and may break, but is not as tiny as it should be to get under the dock cover.

If your system (or prototype) works, nice for you, but I will still have doubt on the reliability of each pins.
