Title: TiLP doesn't work
Post by: ruler501 on January 18, 2011, 11:14:39 pm

I downloaded TiLP and got it to run while I had my Ti-Nspire with 84 keypad in. my computer recognized it as an 84+SE and loaded driver for it. when I ran TiLP II and tried to save a 84 program to my calc I got this error

Code: [Select]

There is a file type incompatible with the target hand-held in the selection. What is going wrong please help

Short answer: I don't know what's wrong :D
What version of TILP II, what computer OS, and what calculator OS are you running ?

Does TiLP recognize a TI-Nspire OS 1.1 with a TI-84+ keypad attached as a TI-89T like TI-Connect does or was this fixed? I completely forgot.

Nope, this wasn't fixed in libticables.
And now that Ndless works on OS versions newer than 1.1, I must say that much of the incentive to fix this piece of TI screwup has disappeared :(

TiLP2 1.14 or higher works with OS above 1.4, it can install any os but you can't get files off of it.

If you need them, I have all the 1.14 debs (cables, etc.), took me a while to find them and I lost the link, but I've still got them on my PC :)

In Nspire mode, TILP II 1.14 won't communicate with Nspire OS 2.x at all (TI made a gratuitous incompatibility with all of their previous USB calculators and cables by changing the USB endpoints), and variable transfers won't work well with OS >= 1.7 (since, again, TI changed something in the protocol).
TILP II from SVN can, however, communicate at all with Nspire OS 2.x in Nspire mode, but nothing has changed wrt. variable transfer.

I hope the problem with the 84+ reported here can be reproduced easily with older OS, because I'm not really keen on using thar crappy OS 2.1 on my calculators, even if there's Nleash.

This is the error it is now giving me when I try to save the file or do anything else with the Ti-Nspire with 84+SE keypad in. It sees it as a 84+@E so why doesn't this work
