SaySomething, now for your CALCULATOR! (or well... TI-84+ CE calculator lol)
An example of an output given.
- Git/GitHub Desktop (if editing source)
- A Texas Instruments TI-84+ CE graphing calculator
- TIConnect CE
There are two ways of getting this running on your calculator.
- First, go to releases. If you want to do it straight from the page, you want to click on the tag and desired version.
- Next, download the
.8xp
file that is provided. This is the program itself. - After, open TIConnect CE, & plug in your TI-84+ CE graphing calculator to your computer using the provided cable.
- Drag the
.8xp
file from your preferred file explorer to the calculator's name. - Follow prompts and install program to the calculator.
- Unplug your calculator from the cable. (Optional)
- Press the
prgm
button on your calculator. - Finally, open
SAYSMTHN
et voilà! SaySomething-CE should open!
- First, clone the repository with Git or clone using GitHub Desktop.
git clone https://github.com/CommonPolarity/SaySomething-CE.git
- Open the copied repository into a text editor of your choice, and also open TIConnect CE.
- Go to the Program Editor workspace, and click "New Program".
- Copy and paste the code provided in
SaySomething-CE.txt
into the newly created program. - Rename variable (optionally, but
SAYSMTHN
suggested) - Save your file to your disk (optional, recommended if you want to make changes over a long pd of time)
- Plug in your TI-84+ CE graphing calculator to your computer using the provided cable.
- Click on "Send program to connected calculator(s)".
- Follow prompts and install program to the calculator.
- Unplug your calculator from the cable. (Optional)
- Press the
prgm
button on your calculator. - Finally, open
SAYSMTHN
et voilà! SaySomething-CE should open! (Though not guaranteed if anything was modified).
Currently, there are a total of two commands that work on the calculator.
:EXIT
is the command to exit out of the program. Although you could go ahead and do 2nd+quit
, it is suggested you use this command instead to exit the program unless you are in dire emegrency.
BTForm-CE, a modified version of BTForm made specifically for the TI-84+ CE calculator, is not implemented yet. Despite this, the command to execute it, :BTFORM
is still available for use. Currently though, it only displays a message about how it is unimplemented, before going back to the main program.
One thing to note is the character limits on the calculator for outputs. This is because of the calculator, not me. Take it out on Texas Instruments.
