TI-89 Titanium TSRs
John Doe Account Info

I just recently purchased a TI-89 Titanium and found that TSRs won't work on it. It gives a 'Line 1111 Emulator' Error. I can't program ASM, so if somebody wanted to see if they could fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know of a program/app for the 83pse or 84pse to keep track of movie/DVD rentals?

If not, would anyone be willing to write one?

Thanks,
Ryan

I have a plan, but I need help!
Cybur_Netiks  Account Info

My plan is a memory extension using the calc's communication port. the Idea came when I was checking my high schools guidelines for the TI-83 plus calculators. one of them is that "CALCULATORS WITH PERMANENT MEMORY, COMMUNICATIONS OR OTHERWISE EXTENSIONS MAY NOT BE USED IN MATH 10 APPLIED OR MATH TEN PURE COURSES" and I am going into math ten pure :(
I am a programmer and constantly find that space is a problem, but I don't know a whole lot about the comm port on my calc (except how to use them) so if anybody can help me out, that would be great. Thanx.

Control
miscellaneousprogrammer  Account Info

Does anybody know of a program (83+) that allows you to control a calc from another within a program. If not, can somebody please make one? I know the tendency to start talking about random things in reply to messages, but is there anybody out there who can do this for me? It would do something like this (as a simple example: you want to find the button pressed by the other calc):

0->G
While G=0
OCgetKey->G ;OC=Other Calculator
End
Disp G

Everything is stored in your calc, not the other one. However, the other one is pressing the button.

BASIC is not a very good language to do that thing. Use ASM for that.

By the way, it has already been done in, for instance, CalcSys.

How do you program directly onto the calculator?
dsouzaman Account Info

Hey,
Does anyone know how to program using op codes directly on the calc (83+)? I made some progs (bug-free)and they don't do anything. Is there some protocall you're supposed to use or something? (I know you have to put AsmPrgm for the first line, but is there anything else?) Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

On the 86 ASM programs are started with AsmPrgm and called using the ASM command, but you need to type in hexadecimal with no spaces in little endian I believe. The TI has no built-in compilers or assemblers. I instead downloaded an assembler that runs directly on the calc. Other than this, the hexcode output of an assembler running on the computer can be typed directly into the calculator.

Basic Compiler - Computers have it; why not calcs?
JAEM Account Info

I have used Visual Basic and QBasic on my computer for years, and they both come with compilers. It doesn't seem that it would be too hard for someone to create a Basic Compiler for calcs. (Preferably the 83+, if anyone's interested in doing so :-)> ) The basic (ha, ha) idea would be for an assembly program to read a Basic program, convert it to ASM, and spit out the Hex Codes into a new program file. Finally, Basic programmers would be able to run their programs at assembly speed. I think this is really needed. If anyone is currently doing this, or is planning to, please contact me at JAEM729{a|t}hotmail dot calm.

Making my rounds... spamming the message board
Darwin695  Account Info

Calculators dont need a basic compiler... because they interpret basic. Basically (heh) basic is a programming language which is only very rarely compiled... instead it is interpreted.
In the calculators case... there is a section of the operating system which runs programs written in basic on the calculator without the need for a link port or a compiler.
It sounds like you want to use TIbasic for your programs...

Finally, if you want to have a program run at "assembly speed" the only way to do this is to write in assembly. Ticalc.org's archives have some remedies, it is generally recomended that you check the archives before posting on the forum...

look in the URL of this post, that file might do the trick...

but if you want to run stuff at "asm speeds" you need to program asm.
or pick up a ti-89 and TIGCC, a nice C compiler for 68k calculators.

Re: Basic Compiler - Computers have it; why not calcs?
Stijn van Drongelen Account Info

TI BASIC is so slow because 50% of the time a command is checking if the situation and the parameters are right to do what the command is supposed to do, and because the interpreter is very, very, very slow. So converting a program from BASIC to ASM can speed it up a bit, but not much. Also, a PC is always better in doing those things than a TI; it's faster, it can use more memory and the converting program can be bigger and more complex.

pllllzzzzzzzzzzzzzz some1 help me!!!!! I really need i mean reallyyyy desperatly need a program ASM or BASIC it doesnt matter, that is for TI-83+. It is a clock that doesnt need the user to put in the time every time they start the program. Plz some1 plz help.

RC Oscilators
Darwin695  Account Info

Sorry Hai Pham, this isn't possible on an 83 (i assume you are using that, because you didn't specify you werent using a ti-89 which has a built in time function)

this is because the ti-83 is a calculator which receives its clock from an RC oscilator... you dont need to know what that means, what you do need to know is that RC oscilators run faster when you have newer batteries, and slower with old ones... so keeping accurate time is an excercise in futility.

Get a watch...

I think he wanted to keep the clock ticking. That's also impossible, since power off is really POWER OFF (well, in APD it could keep ticking).

A TSR program can send the calculator in a low power state that will allow the clock to keep ticking. Tis won't work if batteries are removed though.

TI-BASIC_Coder  Account Info

Your posts are very old, and very wrong. I have successfully written a program which displays the day, date, month, year, time (digital) and time (analog) in realtime. The best parts:

It's written in TI-BASIC and uses the input of the calculator's "Clock" feature in the MODE section.

If anyone wants this, email me at gtr1500@yahoo.com

The 84+'s
Cyrix_2k  Account Info

It looks to me like you could flash an 84+ BIOS to an 83+ calc and gain the functionality of an 84+. Same goes for the 83+se/84+se. A hack may be needed to let the 83+ flash itself to an 84+. Anyone willing to try this?

You can't add hardware functionality (like USB) with software. Sorry.
