Hey all. I asked in the SAX chat but I don’t think anyone knew.
But I was recently thinking... I often don’t have any access to a computer for things like writing code and programming my extensive collection of Arduinos. I wonder if there’s a way to do that from my calculator?
I started researching into MISO and MOSI. To program something like an Arduino from a TI calculator (monochrome), I just linked the I/O port to MOSI and SCLK. I wrote a simple program that just sent the code to blink an LED, and to my surprise it worked!
So now here I am, wondering if anyone has ever tried using a calculator to program an AVR before, or if they’ve only ever tried finding ways to link the two together (for things like CALCnet).
If not, please let me know if I should try doing this, and if you’d like to help!
