Re: Using a TI-83+ or TI-84+ as an auxilary controller
. . yeah your not going to solve it by using code alone. . .

first you'll have to get the calc to be able to talk to its serial port for things other than uploading/downloading(code)

then you'll have to take that serial data and change it to analog data that the IFI controller can understand(elec) . . I would suggest modifying team 862's PS2 controller circuit http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1794 (yeah thats the best controller mod I have ever seen . . so versatile)

If at first it doesn't work, use a hammer.
If that doesn't work, use a bigger hammer.
