The day we have all been waiting for has finally arrived: Calculators can now browse the Internet thanks to the new Gossamer Web browser (http://www.cemetech.net/projects/item.php?id=37) unveiled tonight by KermMartian of Cemetech.
Gossamer, which runs on the Global Calcnet Network formerly developed by the same author, uses an on-line application to parse web pages, which are then displayed on the calc screen.
Is this be the future?
*Early reports indicate that Gossamer already loads pages faster and with fewer errors than all versions of Internet explorer earlier than IE8.
-
This is awesome. I wonder if it runs Runescape?
-
Runescape doesn't use all that much processing power anyway, so probably. :P
All kidding aside, I've been joking about this for years, and now it's finally come true!/me is so excited
-
Yeah this is really awesome. Also it detects forum mobile mode it seems, so that shouldn't be a huge issue to browse some large sites, I guess. I like the new stuff that comes out for those calcs lately.
-
so when will we see flash support? XD
-
Woah, that's um, incredibly awesome :D
-
Congratulations for this remarkable feat, once again ;)
-
Wow. Just wow. Thats all. I'm astounded.
-
But can it run Crysis? J/k
Congratulations Kerm! This looks like a useful, cool tool.
-
Wow. Just wow. Thats all. I'm astounded.

I want this ported to the Prizm with real pictures and animations! ;D

As soon as we figure out how to access the 3-pin port, I'm sure Kerm will be interested in porting CALCnet to the Prizm.
-
Man. When will Kerm stop doing the seemingly impossible?
I like how in the video all the grey buttons are worn out. :p
-
What the fuck
, also on TI-84+? This is awesome. :D
-
I just saw the video, and THAT IS COOL! As soon as I get my Arduino bridge built, I am using this!
What is the browser already capable of? I can see that it can follow links and view text on web pages. What's next up on the list? Forms? ASPX? Custom URL?

3 pin already good. Based off some disassembling I've done the Prizm uses the Renesas serial controller on the 7730 model processor. And once we find the usb peripheral we'll be good there too.

So we can send data using it however we want to? O.O
Please publish how to do it, either in a topic or on the wiki. It would be awesome.
-
OK, that's it. Goodbye computer, hello calculator!
This is great!
-
Simon has been using the Prizm's 3pin port for a while. He is currently looking into the OS update process - however, without an fx-CG 10 at hand the Casio updater does not seem to be quite useful and forcing an "OS Error" message may be unfixable at this stage - at least if you have an fx-CG 20 only.
-
Simon has been using the Prizm's 3pin port for a while.
But is that direct access to what bits are sent, or just using syscalls to send things that conform to Casio's protocol?
-
As always: If there's a syscall that gets the job done - he'll use it.
That is: No, I don't think he uses any direct addressing.
-
Ah. Those probably work just fine with Casio's protocol, but CALCnet is a completely different protocol that isn't supported by either TI or Casio.
-
This is incredible. I question the use of the cursor-based interface (I can't see that as being justified, seeing as the browser's text-based), but this is just...words fail me. WOW.
-
Wow. This is incredible. Nice job, Kerm. :D

Well, it uses Doors CS's GUI system, which is why it's a ~3KB program instead of a ~10KB program, and it makes it easy to click links. Scrolling is the [ +]/[-] keys. Thanks for the good wishes, everyone, and thanks for crossposting the news, Qwerty.
-
Must get TI-84+ for browsing internet when no comps available
This is great
-
One thing has to be added to calcnet and then its 100% perfect: something for wireless linking.
-
Hey, found somewhere how to make a wireless infrared linking... but it was 2 years ago and I don't know which website it was. Also, you have to build your own module by yourself (I mean, you have to build at least 2 modules).
-
Ticalc or so. Yeah, but wireless internet would be even more awesome O.O
-
With infrared ??? Impossible.
With wifi ? Impossible, or you are Kerm Martian II.
-
Wifi of course. And Kerm can pull it off. For sure.
-
This is great! You've earned a +1 respect!
-
There's
blue8x
, but iirc that's still being developed and/or is dead...
But yeah, wifi or something similar on-calc (and a z80 calc, not the limited stuff on the Nspire) would be win ;D
-
So THAT is what that was... that is pretty fricken amazing! Too bad there is still a ban on cemetech so I cant find out more :(
-

I think that was by Thepeng77 right?
qazz42 you got banned? O.O Or do you mean parents blocked you?
-
O.O :crazy:Can you use a usb silverlink cable? or dirsct link cable I dont have a brigde
-
I think it has to be direct USB. Silverlink won't work, although I think somebody was planning to allow it.
-
Wow, awesome job Kerm! I remember seeing some earlier tests of a calc connected to IRC. I suppose after GCN it was just a matter of time.
-
Hmm someone should poke ticalc with this when it shows up there. (I expect it will take a while since they got over 100 pending files and uploads about 15 per 2 day)

Yes, it was.

There's code and a video a few posts down.
-
Does anyone have instructions to make the adapter in the video? I have a load of those TI USB-Mini cables.
-
/me envisions ticalc.org archives, directly accessible on-calc
It would need some method to unzip, tho..
-
That would be sick as hell! Quick, somebody: on-calc extractor and animated gif viewer! Hurry!
-
ZIP format (http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT)
GIF format (http://www.w3.org/Graphics/GIF/spec-gif89a.txt)
... I'll just leave it up to Kerm. :P
-
Yeah, an on-calc package manager \o/
-
I wonder how it deals with text fields like the one im typing in right now is what I wanna know

I think Brandon W was fooling around with both wifi and some bluetooth stuff too if I remember correctly.
-

I don't think Silverlink will ever work, mainly because Silverlink translates to USB output in order to send and recieve files only. However, there are solutions for non 84+ users: a simple bridge constructed from an Arduino, and a more complex, but less expensive bridge that plays as a USBHID. I think it would be cool and convenient if someone mass produced the latter.

Fk I've been gone a long time :P

Welcome back! I was wondering where you went! :)
-
Thanks! There's so much new stuff here! Calc web browsers, Nspire os 3, lua and probably more stuff I haven't seen yet.
-
Welcome back, and yeah there were a lot of new things. :D
Activity went down lately but there are a lot of projects in the works, especially due to the contest.
-
I want it on my Nspire ;)
-
Heya and welcome on the forums MayeulC. And I agree. Unfortunately using the USB port via Ndless is impossible, though. Nobody has ever managed to discover how to do so, and using the Nagivator is out of the question, since it costs about $500-2000 per unit :/
-
$500 a unit? TI is really ripping off schools. I'm guessing all it is is an average USB wifi transceiver with a battery and adapted to work with the dock connector. Simple enough to make much cheaper third party ones. Though there isn't really a market for third party calculator accessories.
-
Yeah, sadly it wouldn't have much success. I guess eventually someone migth come up with a cheaper but harder to build alternative, though.
-
Woa! The most awesome thing since sliced bread! :D
-
Welcome back ralph :D
-
I didn't know you couldn't use the usb port with Ndless.
But if it is possible to transmit a file to the calc while running an asm program, we should try a local browser which writes the requests into a file, and a PC-Side tool which replace this file with the Internet page.
I think it would also be possible to make an input for the Nspire using a fake keyboard, but I don't know how an output could be possibly done.
Using the led? :D

Here is a Grossamer download (I got it on Cemetech) same with DS7.2 betaNO ARDIONO NEEDED IF YOU HAVE AN 84 USE A B cord ALL CREDIT TO KERM MARTIAN O.O :w00t: :w00t: AT http://cemetech.net/news.php?id=465

Don't put another person's work out for download without explicit permission. See what the rules of the applied license first. For now, I suggest you take that down in that format; It would be better to link to the URL he provides.

Re-publishing things that others have made without their permission is not a good thing to do, even if you give them credit. However, you can provide a link to the Gossamer download page on Cemetech if you want to.

I did I edited my first post and you were ninja'd
-
Yeah, its never good to provide your own link to software, licensed or not. Keep that in mind ;)
