nRemote is here !

Seems quite promising, could this eventually allow linked multiplayer games or something like that (gCn comes to mind)?

If we can read the keypresses from the device, then yes and much more

Nice !

You can make 3.2 programs completely compatible with 3.1 ones

Indeed.
Either if you have only one script frame in your .tns (and you never had anything more than that - even if deleted) then you have to put " platform.apilevel = '1.0' " at the beginning of your script.
You can also use Luna

You mean, something like this ? ;-)



I just created it for you


(edit : fixed a bug)

Hi there,


I managed to code a software (for computer), which Levak improved with a GUI (interface), that enables you to remote control your TI-Nspire.
That's how the chatbot video is made. I typed questions' text and Levak typed the answers on his computer which controlled the handheld (sent key events) … BTW, it's working on any Nspire. Ndlessed or not. Probably every OS too.

The idea behind this is that while calculator-geeks like us can use it for fun or later for more interesting projects (if we get the other way - calc->computer working?), and I guess teachers can find this software truly useful for their purpose of doing some actions simultaneously on several handheld in their classrooms. For example, open a file, and get started to a specific page, everyone at the same time. I don't think it was possible before. I already have some support for teachers finding this an awesome idea and they can't wait to use it.

It started as a little joke but people started really believing too much and we started feeling sad ... ^^ So… Sorry for that joke that went a bit too far with so many replies etc.

(   Also, a chatbot would be feasible anyway.... I looked at some Eliza implementation and it's definitely doable. Probably some other bot too. When I have time I can try    )

BTW, as told above : while it can be helpful for creating some pre-made keypresses sequences (like put some devices into a specific screen so it is ready to do something else, or whatever you want), it will be even better when we (if we find how to do so....) manage to get the other way working : getting keypresses from the handheld and get them back on the computer. Because then, it's just a matter of creating some text-based internet client for example.

Here's a photo for you :


(on the interface on can either click on the buttons or directly type with your computer's keyboard and it will send the keypresses)
You can see that nRemote also captures the screen from the HH to display it, as an emulator.

I also might as well tell (probably for legal purposes) that this program does NOT edit, modify or alter TI's libraries or any of their code. It works "as is", as long as you have TINCL or TINCS installed on your system.

Yay ! I finally was the first one to get this copy and give a +1

I'm not sure you want to give me a +1 anymore ?

Anyway, writing news right now....

It's the standard lua, just without io and system libs, and some extra libs by them

IOW, it's significantly two-way incompatible with Lua on pretty much other platform.

As much as a whole lot of platform-specific programming languages... I don't see why this is so important. Actually, it's "easy" to port what's required to make it work on normal Lua, as Jim's done (and even further, since it runs with JS too). So, when this part is done, it should be really good. (more talking about Cemetech's LuaZM for example, here)

But yeah, porting some Java framework + library ought to be possible on the Nspire, and unlock some potential (at least once in a while, when native code development is available to users).

Indeed, it would be a great new way opening to a lot of things
