CLAP - Temporary topic

Post by Timendus »

(Moderators, please merge this topic with the old one once the problem with that has been fixed)

Since the old topic seems to have a problem loading the latest post and therefore the entire second page, I made a new one with kv's approval.

I borrowed a calculator from my brother and one from a flatmate, so I have three calculators laying around here now. I spent this afternoon soldering old bits of cable together to create a three way link, and guess what? No really, guess?!

It works!! Wooot :mrgreen: My HUB theory is correct, the HUB in PTI is a proper emulation of what will happen if you connect multiple calculators, and I managed to send a picture from one calculator to two others simultaniously over my very (VERY) crappy three way link cable! :)

So the final piece of the puzzle is put in place, and calculator networking is now officially a fact. The hardware behaves just like PTI, I have software that uniquely identifies an arbitrary number of linked calculators that works in PTI, ergo Ti calcs can network, and the mystery that has kept me awake for entire nights since the year 2000 has finally been unravelled!

Damn, this is cool :mrgreen:

Anyway, to "prove" this to you, here are some photo's of my setup. I requested a version of PTI that can capture all screens simultanously from CoBB, but for the moment this'll have to do:

Look carefully, you can see the same image on all three screens:

The "HUB" :mrgreen:

I'm so proud to be the part of this! 8) Well done!

And this is probably the first time in history where emulation predated the hardware and even got it right. :lol:

do those 83s plug in the side?? odd

I think my post somehow broke the old topic (oops). if you didn't read it, I just said that I have an 82/83/83+ and could test for you. seems like you already solved this though. :) Good job Tim, this is an awesome accomplishment. I'm glad it all worked out as planned.
