Nspire A guide for hidden shortcuts on the nspire.

22 Upvotes

I only have a CX CAS on hand, so not sure if these are relevant for the OG nspire or the CX II.

ModifersKeyResult
Ctrl1Return to equation input
Ctrl3Skip to end of line
Ctrl7Skip to beginning of line
Ctrl9Go back two answers (?)
Shift+Integration
Shift-Derivative
Shift÷Backslash (only really used for loading libraries I think)
ShiftArrow keysSelect text, similar to PC
CtrlC/V/XCopy/paste/cut, similar to PC
CtrlSSave, similar to PC

The last three might be obvious, but several people in my lass weren't aware of them so I added them. This is a non-exhaustive list. Please let me know if I'm missing any.

Z80/eZ80 based Random Letter Generator on TI 84 Plus CE

4 Upvotes

I'm trying to create a random letter generator for generating a series of letters. I need it to generate 6 letters and display them like 'ABCDEF'.

Full disclosure:

I'm working on an RPG aid that generates random Reference Inquiry sequences. It's for Warhammer 40K TTRPG. A full sequence displays as:
########-##.###/[6 letters]

I'm not sure how to store the letters. I'd like to store them in a single string, but I have no idea how to do that, if it's even possible.

I’m in a statistics class and trying to plot a linear regression. Most people have a ti 84 and the professor showed how to turn diagnostics on to get the correct r value. I am getting the wrong r value and do not know how to change the settings. Any help would be great

Z80/eZ80 based RAM CLEARED

3 Upvotes

I was using a program on my ti-84 Plus like normal, I turned it off and left it in my locker. 20 minutes later, I turn it on and I get a message saying “Ram Cleared” my battery didn’t die, i didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. All of my programs were deleted, but I had them backed up on another calculator. I re-uploaded them, and received the same message when I used it again. is there any way that I can get this to stop?

So I hope it isn’t the ribbon cable but it is only showing a black screen unless I take out a battery and hold delete and it just brings me to this glitchy screen this started when I booted it up normally and I was looking through my programs I had like Mario on there and once I got to make a new program it glitched and I replaced the batteries except the button since I don’t have one on hand I’ve removed all batteries and waited I’ve tried removing the fourth battery and holding clear and I think holding memory and 2nd button and I’ve cleaned the contacts with isopropyl alcohol and qtip so I’m outta ideas should I let the old calculator go to calculator heaven

Four Function Calculator TI 84 Plus CE Drivers

2 Upvotes

I have been writing programs for the TI 84 Plus CE on TI Connect CE, but when I go to send them to my device, I can't find it. The device is detected in my device manager, but it says there is an error on the device. I am pretty sure it is the old drivers messing me up. The calculator is on OS 5.0 specifically so more programming languages can be used. Does anyone know how to find updated drivers? Is it the link cable? Thank you for your help.

Waiting... Please install software now.

ERROR! Press any key to turn unit off. Then turn unit back on.

I can no longer connect to it through TI Connect in order to potentially install software..

TI just keeps telling me to make sure everything is plugged in -_-

I am building more complex accounting calculators, and it seems I am limited to single value alphabetic characters. However, I need more than 26 store values. Is there a work around for that? Can't find an answer online.

Scientific Calculator Ti-84 Plus CE port

2 Upvotes

Help please, older Casio dad, am frustrated. (TLDR: need cable)

New TI 84 Plus CE bought at a slight discount arrived today. I was excited. But then... realizing why the 20 dollar discount. Found with some annoyance that there is no cable that works out of the box to charge, even though they state to charge first before use, and the port model is discontinued. I couldnt even do the first step. Womp womp.

Here are the details:

  • The port on the calc unit is USB-Mini-A.

  • There was a cable that went USB mini A male to USB Mini-B male

  • There was a second cable that went USB-Mini-B male to USB-A male

I say "was" because, you cant connect the two cables together since they are both male; I decided to splice the USB-Mini-A male to the USB-A male to make a solution. I have no double female adapter. I have no mini-usb power supply.

This splice did not work. After finishing and plugging in, there is no charging indicator. Battery meter does not rise over four hours of connection. So, I have apparently damaged the cables, or did not understand. #baffleface.jpg. Thought I spliced right, was feeling smug. All colors went to the same colors in the cable. The ground wrap got wound together as well. The shield foil is not intact, but I dont care. Something in the splice went wrong even though I soldered carefully without stress, and wrapped the leads in vinyl successfully I thought.

Disconcerted that these units are still out there with the discontinued port. Did not even know they were two variants. All of the Amazon stuff is clearly the OTHER type. They are now apparently USB- mini-B? Was not aware that there are two types of USB-Mini. Its not just the one specification. They do not fit in the other. There is no notification that you are getting the A or the B type, when you purchase on Amazon. My kid constantly just tries to jam any cable into any port, so if it is a uniqe color, all the better. Otherwise I will wind up like that guy that tore the unit apart to re-port it with this https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/samtec-inc/MUSB-05-F-AB-SM-A/6678474

Am sort of shocked that the cables are not copper. They are braided aluminum. Cheap! The gauge is really weak. Probably can only handle a 20 mA load. Plus its not like they are going to take much flex stress, but maybe I didnt even solder right. Have not ever soldered aluminum and not sure it was good. Baffle. Possible I did it right, and broke a connection on the vinyl tape wrap.

Giving up. Now I have no good cables.

So I would like a new cable, or a power supply. It has to be a mini-usb-A to USB-A, or to a wall supply. All the ones I find either dont have an end-on plug version, or dont state they are A or B type mini. So I cant trust them.

Anyone? Bueller?

Thanks
