Lately I've been messing with a somewhat new "gadget", the ESP8266
This SoC has Wi-Fi and serial connection, people are using it has a standalone (controlling lights, getting data from sensors) or just adding Wi-Fi to their arduino project for 5€ (or less). It can be programmed in C using the arduino ide or using their SDK or in lua.
But what does this have to do with a calculator forum? Since I began using graphic calculators in school I always wanted to find a way to communicate (wireless) with another calculator OR Wi-Fi, and this way i could get resources to use in the class (or cheating
) eheh
Well now that I no longer use calculators (university classes barely need them) i could get to some hacking
The idea is simple, the ESP8266 takes care of all the WiFi communication and just needs to send the info it gets to the calculator over serial. The calculator then process the receive data and shows the received data.
The problems:
I know zero about programming for the calculator
The CG20 wont be able to show most images so its going to be only text browser probably
Later on ideas, maybe IRC Client?
I did a search before about using the serial port with microcontrollers and found this http://www.casiopeia.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1557
Looking forward for this project
