The TI-CBL2 is a sensor interface for z80/68k calculators, like the Lab Cradle for Nspire calculators.

On the 1st look, the TI-CBL2 seems to be a light version of the Vernier LabPro, which adds:
  • an usb connector Grin
  • 4 plugs for analog devices instead of 3 Grin
  • 2 plugs for digital/numeric devices instead of 1


But by opening the TI-CBL2, we notice that the missing plugs connections are available - they're just unsoldered.


So in the end, the TI-CBL2 is a cut-down version of the Vernier LabPro.

Adding that both devices share the same OS, it might be possible to add the missing connectors and turn your cheap TI-CBL2 into a Vernier LabPro, increasing its value! Grin

As allready annouced on TI-Planet, although the Vernier analog connectors are expensive with official resellers, they're just standard phone plugs used in Great Britain, meaning that you can buy them very cheap online! Grin


Note that numeric/digital connectors aren't the same: they're mirror-inversions of the previous connectors and aren't standard as far as I know.

nice, what's the price difference between those 2? i doubt it would be possible to add a USB socket to the CBL2, since i don't see any place for it on the PCB xs and there seem to be some chips missing, do you know why they would be there?

Yes I don't think you'll be able to add the usb connector, but soldering the missing sensor connectors seems perfectly possible;

typical of TI, to rip ppl off of their customer's money. I wonder where they spend all those money they're getting, selling TI-83+'s at over $80 when it probably costs them $10 to make Undecided

Spoiler for funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)

Very interesting!  I used the CBL a lot this year in Physics, so this information is quite nice! Smiley

Is possible connect the TI83/89/Voyage200 laboratory (TI-CBL2) with a ti-nspire(CX/CAS) calculator?.

TI-CBL2 ~= TI-labCradle ?

TI-CBL2



TI-labCradle for TI-nspire(CX/CAS

Unfortunately, you cannot connect the TI-CBL or TI-CBL2 to a TI-Nspire as it requires a mini-Jack plug.

The only way would be to use the TI-84+ keypad, but it's probably not what you want to achieve.


You need the TI-Nspire Lab Station Cradle (internally nicknamed as TI-CBL3).

But the mini-Jack plug connector TI-CBL2, could have its equivalent connection with connector TInspire and TI-CBL3, (RS232?)

Please could you experience this with cables from mini-Jack plug to TInspire

Critor have a CBL2?

I don't think the TI-Nspire Lab Cradle is using the RS232 contacts from the Dock connector.

It's probably using the USB contacts from the 2nd USB plug included in the Dock connector.
