Sending programs from 84+SE to 83+
Posted: Tue 21 Oct, 2008 2:18 am
Okay,
today I tried sending a program of mine from my 84+SE to my friend's 83+ to better aid him in his calculus 2 class. I plugged in the correct plug and expected it to work, because I've done it with other 83+'s previously. When I sent the program to my friend's calculator, the error "Error in Xmit" occurred. Don't think I did something wrong in the sending and receiving process, I know how this sort of thing works.
So, before I typed this post, I consulted the TI84+SE manual on the issue, it says the following:
Error in Xmit
-Make sure the cable is plugged in firmly and the receive unit is in receive mode.
-[ON] was pressed.
-You tried a backup from TI82 to a TI84+
-You tried to transfer data (other than a list) to a 82 from a 84+
-Other 82 crap
As you can see, most of the solutions are for TI82's. My problem is for a TI83+. None of the following from the list apply to my error. I thought the problem may be because my friend's calculator is probably 5 years old and would need an OS update, but that shouldn't even matter, should it?
Any suggestions in sending my file to my friend's calculator?
P.S. I thought of bringing his calculator home and transferring from my computer, but I don't have the old type of port on my computer. Therefore, this cannot be a solution when posting here.
