I am trying to get TILP to automatically transfer files when i plug in my calculator. i added the following udev rule:
Code: ACTION=="add", ATTRS{product}=="TI-84 Plus", RUN+="/lib/udev/calctransfer.sh"
which runs
Code: #!/bin/bash
{
tilp --calc=ti84+ --no-gui --timeout=450 /home/pi/ti84/files/* >/home/pi/ti84/out.txt
}&
when i plug in my calculator, the output file appears containing the version and warranty info, but no files are transferred. running the shell script from the terminal transfers the files correctly. any ideas why it's not working when run from udev?
TILP's command-line interface is sub-par. Try again using titools instead ?
Try adding a small delay, maybe? Also, in TiLP's GUI, I always refresh the directory list before transferring stuff to reduce weird error messages; I don't know how relevant that is for the command line.
turns out using
Code: tilp --calc=ti84+ --no-gui --timeout=450 /home/pi/ti84/files/*.8Xp
tilp --calc=ti84+ --no-gui --timeout=450 /home/pi/ti84/files/*.83p
tilp --calc=ti84+ --no-gui --timeout=450 /home/pi/ti84/files/*.8xk
works
Did you have any other things in /home/pi/ti84/files? And did it work when you manually typed "tilp --calc=ti84+ --no-gui --timeout=450 /home/pi/ti84/files/* >/home/pi/ti84/out.txt" into the terminal?
And wait a minute, how did you get TiLP working on a Pi?

Presumably 'sudo apt-get install tilp2'
I had to add root to plugdev. that was it. the udev rule was being executed by root, and it silently failed because root wasn't part of plugdev. I did the separate extensions because it would transfer all of whatever extension it found first and then stop. as for TILP on a pi, i just used synaptic. i guess someone already compiled it for rpi.
Nice, too bad you have to rename any .8Cp files you have to .8xp so TiLP will even send it to a TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition. *pokes Lionel Debroux*
EDIT: Wait, how come root can't access plugdev? I thought root was supposed to be able to access EVERYTHING. Like the SYSTEM account on Windoze.
Also, this might be a better way of doing it:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
{
cd ~/ti84/files;
tilp --calc=ti84+ --no-gui --timeout=450 *.8xp *.8xk *.83p;
} &

The work for identifying variable types through magic numbers has started, mainly by Benjamin Moody.
I think it still had to be a member of the group. that's about when it started working for me.
