Re: Using a TI-83+ or TI-84+ as an auxilary controller

I have written multiplayer games using serial in TI-BASIC before. Its very simple, just use the Get(str) and Send(str), and the calculator will send a 4800bps serial string. I don't know the databits and such though, but you can easily figure this out through hyperterm. You'll also need to check if the serial signal runs TTL voltage... i don't believe it does.

You can use the normal kevin watson serial driver, just configure it to accept the 4800bps.

I can try and help with any other ?'s you have. just PM me.

-Q
