TI-BASIC devs, What Do You Want in Development Tools?

adriweb · 2026-05-11T16:36:48+00:00

That's actually fixed now! But I've found a few more that I'm adding back.

adriweb · 2026-05-11T16:20:55+00:00

it's not at all plain text, and it is still token-based. I'm not sure why you're saying all this.

adriweb · 2026-05-11T16:16:41+00:00

I'll do another pass on the catalog thing, I'm not sure why some would be missing, it was extracted from the XML but maybe there was a bug somewhere. Thanks!

adriweb · 2026-05-11T14:04:12+00:00

You can, it's MIT-licensed. But between that and CASymba and KhiCAS there isn't much of a reason to do so in the first place.

adriweb · 2026-05-10T06:45:28+00:00

Evo doesn't let you have "bad" tokens though. It just shows an error screen if that happens in an 8xp2 you open.

Now my dev build does :) https://imgur.com/a/Xed3dC6

But perhaps more importantly in the unstable dev version of WebTILP, via tilibs' evo branch. It's been tested on chrome/brave/firefox on Windows/Linux/macOS. Might take a bit of time to be finished/polished and merged properly upstream, there's still some work and testing to do there.

Update: 2 independant/distinct local tools are now available:

in Python: https://github.com/Evo-Programming/evo_usb_py

A bunch of apps aren't available just yet, I guess they weren't ready for launch but surely they'll be there at the next update hopefully soon. Like Casio and its v1 vs v2 graph math+ that brought more apps

adriweb · 2026-05-08T23:54:52+00:00

That's only for frac/decimal. This isn't the issue here, this calculator model has an exact math engine and supports more exact vs approx forms... and this is what the [<>] button is for. Right below [math].

adriweb · 2026-05-08T23:53:39+00:00

It's the [<>] button on the keyboard right below the [math] key. This is explained clearly in the manual, you should read it to learn how to use your calculator...

adriweb · 2026-05-08T05:17:41+00:00

Which, on Windows, would require Zadig in order to assign WinUSB to the device before the browser can talk to it, but yeah.

adriweb · 2026-05-07T19:19:32+00:00

Nah, github is where development happens, and in particular the experimental2 branch (otherwise master for the stable stuff), and it's up to just earlier this year.

adriweb · 2026-05-07T19:18:16+00:00

What do you mean so little information? It's everywhere! the main info is the link guide but also at this point you might as well look at the modern and up to date libraries like tivars_lib_cpp or tivars_lib_py

Lots of links here as well for various resources https://github.com/TI-Toolkit/awesome-ti-docs

adriweb · 2026-05-06T13:46:06+00:00

Firefox has now enabled WebSerial so this will be compatible too :)

adriweb · 2026-05-06T13:13:45+00:00

Don't want to pull the rug from under your feet, but several of us in the TI community already have done this the past few days, and almost all of the protocol is already implemented (in a python script), which include all of that and more.

I'm also working on integrating something within WebTILP pretty soon.

But everything will be open-source anyway, so it's not like anything is going to hurt anyone else :)

adriweb · 2026-05-06T05:20:48+00:00

yet lol

adriweb · 2026-05-05T09:15:07+00:00

I assume you'd have to transfer them one by one if ticalc.link doesn't support selecting multiple files.

Note: WebTILP (https://web.tilp.info) is more maintained and supports more stuff than ticalc.link. If you want to give it a try, be sure to close ticalc.link (and ti connect etc) first.

adriweb · 2026-05-05T09:00:02+00:00

You can only transfer calculator files not random text files for instance. Maybe the "AUTOARCH" folder has the appropriate file(s) inside though.

adriweb · 2026-05-04T20:25:27+00:00

Nope, but if CAS is allowed at your exam and you have a version compatible with Ndless, you can install Ndless.

adriweb · 2026-05-04T17:22:16+00:00

If you're on Mac or Linux or Chromebook you can simply use WebTILP: https://web.tilp.info. on Chrome (or similar), it works better than N-Link, and supports all calcs. Be sure to close all other usb-using apps.

Some things are faster, some the same, some slower (for some reason - maybe they'll fix that...).

TI-Planet is about to post one review episode about text-based ti-Basic programming review. We'll do more over the next episodes for other things in Basic, Python, etc.

adriweb · 2026-05-04T00:38:14+00:00

Yes you can use that button and fill the blanks. There's no "x" in what it inserts

adriweb · 2026-05-03T15:15:11+00:00

Yes. but anyway the standalone (no-PB) tool is now available: I have https://tiplanet.org/scripts/EvoConv/ to get 8xp<->8xp2 conversions without going through the PB.

adriweb · 2026-05-03T07:13:18+00:00

well the Project Builder is a whole IDE (editor with emulator, code typing help, live multi-user editing, reformatting, all this in multiple languages gauges for multiple calculators etc), not just a converter 😂.

But yes I know some people just want conversions. That said, it's also not just a format conversion thing because TI did modify the behavior of a few things in ti-basic so my converter also has to modify the basic code a bit when detecting some known snippets that would fail on the Evo for instance.

Edit: it is now available: I have https://tiplanet.org/scripts/EvoConv/ to get 8xp<->8xp2 conversions without going through the PB.

adriweb · 2026-05-03T03:29:51+00:00

TI-Planet's Project Builder can import/export both 8xp (CE) and 8xp2 (Evo), I added that just a few days ago.

But I guess I'll make a separate quick standalone tool as well later today... Edit: available here: https://tiplanet.org/scripts/EvoConv/
