I wrote a little sample code to show how to use CALCnet2.2 in Axe. The code assigns a player index to your calculator, occassionally broadcasts that index to others, and takes recieved player indices and stores their 5-byte addresses in memory:
Code: [Select]
ClrHome
Disp "F1-F5=P1-P5"
0->K
Repeat K>=49 and (K<54)
getKey->K
ReturnIf K=15
End
ClrHome
K-49->D
0->{L3
Fill(L3,40
Disp "LINKING...",i
.START CALCNET
Asm(CD4209)
.CLEAR SEND BUFFER
Asm(CD420C)
.CLEAR RECIEVE BUFFER
Asm(CD420F)
0->T
Repeat getKey(15)
!If T^16
.SEND FRAME
Asm(CD420C)
.SENDER INDEX (0 for all)
0->{L1+270}
Fill(L1+270,5
.FRAME CONTENT
D->{L1+277}
.FRAME SIZE
1->{L1+276}
.READY SIGNAL
128->{L1+275
End
T+1->T
.CHECK RECIEVE
If {L1+12}>128
.COPY PLAYER ADDRESS TO SPACE DICTATED BY PLAYER INDEX
Copy(L1+7,{L1+14}*8+L3,5
.PRINT PLAYER ADDRESS IN RIGHT SPOT
Output(1,{L1+14}+1,{L1+14}+L3
.CLEAR RECIEVE BUFFER
Asm(CD420F
End
End
.STOP CALCNET (Remember to use!)
Asm(CD4212)
Return

<codebox omitted>

This crashes for me. Yes, I remembered to call the "stop CALCnet" opcode. Have you tested this? I'm not sure whether to trust my hardware anymore.

Are you using the newest versions of Axe? The older versions stores variables in the location where CALCnet expects its data to be.

Just to remind you, since I hardly ever notice these topics, try to poke me on Cemetech if you have any specific CALCnet2.2 questions.  As I said previously, though, I'll try to remember to look for this topic.

0.4.8. It just up and RAM clears whenever I try to call any of those opcodes.

That might be your problem.
DCS 7.1 Beta 2 was the first version to have Calcnet implemented in it if I'm not mistaken.

NetPong and the speed test work, so I'm guessing that's not true.

Any version of 7.1 (including the 7.1 betas) should work. However, if you're going to connect to other calcs, it's strongly recommended that you use 7.1.1.

I guess I was wrong. Aside from that, I'm unsure of the problem.

I'm pretty sure those calls are not in little-endian.  Switch the last hex pair with the middle hex pair for all the calls.

Thanks, Quigibo. I tried changing all of the CDs to CFs (Call to b_Call) but I'll try this suggestion and see how it works.

On another note, when I try to do linking in WabbitEmu, I can't get it to work. I use this exact command sequence:
F12 (to switch the calc on)
File -> New
F12
Calculator -> Connect To...

And nothing happens. Before and after I use this command, link apps that do work on real hardware (Bomberkids, Bubble Bobble, the TI link system itself) do not work in WabbitEmu. I've tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions in Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit. Do you know what is going on?
