Being something of a TI fanatic myself, I have to say that your idea is absolutely brilliant. The TI-83's built-in facilities for graphing data would be absolutely superb for monitoring a robot's behavior, and the simple programming interface (in TI-BASIC, anyway) would be ideal for quickly creating a working dashboard program.

the question here would be whether the cable actually takes the full input of the serial cable, or is simply using a connector of convinience - the graph link software may only drive a few of the pins on the serial cable in order to drive the few connectors on the other end (in which case the suggested method would not work), or it may have an encoder to encode the value of the serial port into one the calculator port can read (in which case it would work)

you'll have to try and see.

Ditto (no se, though). When I first read that, I thought you where NUTS, but then the guy mentioned the gray cable. Detached Solutions can probably give you a few pointers for App dev.

If there is such a device, try CBL/CBR, since there easy functions for that. (big dream)

Tell me how it works (and where I can get a gray cable cheap, the SDK won't use USB, which I have)
