Re: TI calculator scouting app
I plan to write the program in TI-Basic not asm so there would be no other programs required, like mirageOS, to run it. Unfortunatly, because of the way these calculators store a matrix, list, or variables, the program will be rather large when it has had a full regional of teams' information submitted into its catalogue.
After looking further into the whole computer to calc program idea, despite how much i would like to make that work, the way the TI Connect software works is simply not very efficient for doing something like this. you have to open the program, recognise the TI device, open up the device explorer then save one of the martixes, or a list (depends on what i use, prolly a matrix) to a folder on your computer. then you would have to run another app that i write in VB and import this matrix (because it is written in VB, you would need to get the .net stuff from microsoft if you dont already). not that this would all be impossible, but it would definetly be difficult. That however is not my main concern. my main concern is the fact that this whole process would be less than efficient, and not really something you would want to have to do with 6 calculators every single match... If anyone else is familiar with ti-calculator programming and knows of an easier way to to all of this that i am totally spacing then please let me know!
