Welcome to Cemetech, fman23! It's good to have you with us. What sort of TI-BASIC projects have you made? Glad to hear you're a good C programmer; have you had an opportunity to take a look at the Casio Prizm? I'm also gratified to hear that you're interested in GlassOS, as that has been somewhat neglected lately.

Hello this is northern_snow from PRC. I use the same ID on omnimaga. I use TI-NSpire CAS clickpad, TI-89 ti , CX CAS , fx-9750GII (the last two, in fact, is my brother's) and many CASIO scientific calculators.

Im quite a lazy person, and im quite new to asm scene as well. I began my starwar project, but when it came to communicating between 2 calculators, i honestly gave up as it was beyond me, but now when i read a little about silent linking im looking forward to continue on it.

I know a little C++, little FORTH and i'd say good Z80, but im completely new to OS stuff so im experimenting quite a lot.
I learned z80 half year ago, then had a pause and now as allways i tooked this destructive path again(destructive because im not able to concentrate on school very well when im programming).

And when it comes to my completed projects- none. Im completly unproductive, maybe because i don't take this seriously and i'm just playing around or just didn't have any cool idea.

Well, there's nothing wrong with not taking it seriously; the point of a hobby is to have fun! As far as communication for your Starwar project, silent linking is probably not the ideal solution; for one-to-one or larger games, you could use CALCnet, or you could also use the TI link protocol in its non-silent form.

Welcome everyone! We're glad to have you here!

Hello everyone,

I'm Niek. I'm 14 years old and Dutch.
Since i was 6, i've been fascinated by electronics. I always took all of my toys apart to look inside and see how they work. I got my first soldering iron when i was - i think - 7. I loved putting together electronic kits. When i was 8 i got accepted to DJO, a local hackerspace. You had to be 12 or older to get in, but they made an exception for me because i already had experience. Since then i've done a lot of projects there, like making a infrared tripwire activate a wireless doorbell for a hobby shop (and earning some money doing it). I also started programming VB.net, HTML, CSS and PHP about 4 years ago. I also have my own website. Right now i'm busy publishing more stuff on there. About a year ago, i got my first Arduino. I immediately made a autonomous car. I learned programming by combining different parts of code from the internet to make one thing. Since then i've done a lot of things with arduino, i made my own cheap Arduino clone , i even made the world's smallest arduino (15x10mm) but i haven't published it yet since it's still in development stage. I made a lot more with Arduino, but i'm too lazy to write it all down.

I recently aquired a TI-84+ for school and i'm trying to find a way to control it using an Arduino. So here i am.

nog een nederlander!

Ja

Welcome to Cemetech! It's great to have another hardware hacker who first got into hardware when he was very young, like myself. Great work. I am intrigued by the idea of breaking out a +5V and GND pin with each signal pin; that is an (in hindsight) reasonable addition. What did you use to make such a small Arduino clone? Do you have access to a pick-and-place machine at your hackerspace?

Great! You should also explore TI-BASIC and z80 programming for calculators; it sounds like something you might enjoy.

als je meer wilt weten over ti-basic, zou ik hier: http://nl.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programmeren_in_TI-Basic even kijken. heeft mij geholpen.

I get the basic sense of that, but we ask that you please try to use our lingua franca, English, for posts. Speaking of TI-BASIC programming books, my upcoming book is getting released in stores in about two weeks: Programming the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus.

sorry. I will do that in the future.

I designed and built this project on my own, i have a great workplace at home:


This is it (sketchup rendering):



I manually put solderpaste on each pad, placed all of the components (even 0402 resistors) by hand using very small tweezers and 2 magnifying-glasses. Then i soldered them in a cheap secondhand mini-oven (low budget).



Oh, and i forgot to mention: I purchased a 1984 tomy omnibot, took it apart, cleaned it and completely upgraded it.

His eyes now have LED's. I mounted a webcam in his face. His head is now able to rotate. His arms are now able to move using 10kg/cm servos. As controller i used the EZ-B controller and to control everything, i mounted an Asus Eee-PC on its back.





This is him in action:

Awesome!

I came here hoping to learn some programming knowledge to apply to future projects. I like how welcoming the site is : D

Great, programming is what we like to teach! What sort of prior experience do you have? What particular platforms have you worked with? Any specific projects in mind?

No experience what so ever, I do however have some game concepts (and designs) that I wanted to work with.

Welcome! Perhaps you can share them over in the "Your Projects" category

um hi.

Welcome! As far as I know, you're looking for help getting Pokemon Purple to work on your calculator. Since that's a work in progress, you might also be interested in Pokemon Topaze. In addition, this thread should help you with Pokemon Red, Topaze, and Purple, three calculator Pokemon projects:
