USB Direct Cables Supported in TiLP
Posted by Michael on 29 May 2006, 14:18 GMT

The TiLP-II v0.13 beta version has been released for UNIX and Windows, and I am happy to report that it now supports the direct USB cables used by the TI-84 Plus and TI-89 Titanium. Romain Liévin has made TiLP the first and only linking program besides TI Connect to support the direct USB functionality in those newer calculators. As it is a beta version, I'm sure feedback and bug reports involving USB communication would be helpful.

This is a very productive use for the new ports on the calculators. From my limited exposure (use) of TiLP the program works fine. I wonder though how far we can take the ports (functionality wise).

I'd like to see a print feature for notefolio files/cellsheet files

I've been waiting for DirectLink USB support for more than a century!

It's not very stable yet, much has to be improved, but it works :D

Well, I know that DirectLink support has been expected for 1 year.

But, I had some work load during this year and the TiLP team includes just one guy (two for now) which works on TiEmu, too ;-)

Yeah, there's you, there's now Tyler, and then there's me occasionally fixing it if it doesn't compile. ;-)

Yes, sometimes finding some of those bugs are pretty hard, and most of time they are easy to fix (like the 83+ ROM Dumping Bug...)

*winces* I'd offer to help with the Linux version, but I've got too many projects going on already.

I find that the backup doesn't work with direct USB linking...

Not at all or just not the way you expect it to work? What calculator is that with? The TI-84+? The Direct USB protocol no longer supports the "memory dump" types of backup, you can only get a group file as a backup, the way things always worked on the TI-89/89Ti/92+/V200 models.

All I know is that when you open TI-Connect and go to "Backup", it starts running and then about half way, the computer gives some file read error and the backup is saved with 0K and reads as corrupt.

WinXP SP1 (soon to be SP2 :( due to no longer support)

I really liked MediaPlayer9 Series

Well, then that's a TI-Connect bug. I can't help you with that, complain to TI about it. I thought you were using TiLP.

I wasn't complaining, I was just saying the silverlink seems more stable under all programs, including TI's own drivers

The USB Direct Link support is very very very fast, much faster than TI-Connect's, thanks again Romain :)

Ti-Connect is written in LOGO?

Ah LOGO. The first language, I imagine, for not just myself.

No, it's written in .NET... Which is even worse.

I had to reformat my hard drive a month ago because .NET was corrupted. ugh. what ever happened to DOS where everything was small, efficient, and self-contained?

You are nostalgic for something that never was. Better to use a slide rule and Selectric typewriter.

I think I have a typewriter in the basement...I know my grandparents have some slide rules...

*long live win3.1 with serial ports*

why is it that D9 serial ports/parallel print ports are more universal than USB for peripherals???

DOS was mercifully killed several years ago. If you want a real down-in-the-guts OS, run Linux or another UNIX (not a Mac, they seem to have neutered their UNIX base :( ). Linux's terminal has more CLI goodness than DOS ever had, and it is much more stable and has many times the features that DOS did too, such as having exponentially better memory protection and management, modern filesystems, and a good network stack.

Yeah, DOS was sort of the worst of both worlds - it was hard to use, and you could do absolutely nothing with it. If you use bash in Linux or BSD, without X, it's hard to use for some people, but *so* powerful - there's tab completion (which I couldn't live without), multitasking, pipes, etc.
