Title: Ti Nspire for sale
Post by: Stefan Bauwens on April 13, 2011, 06:05:01 am
I was just looking a bit for the fun on ebay. I found this: http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/Texas-Instruments-TI-nSpire-with-84-keypad-/260764220657?pt=UK_Gadgets&hash=item3cb6c23cf1#ht_834wt_1139
I think that may be quite interesting for some of you guys who want to buy one. It looks like the ti 84 pad is also included.
I myself am not yet ready to buy a ti-nspire. Besides, I don't have the money. :P

With 84+Keypad? Those are not sold by Texas anymore, this is a great bargain then, thanks for sharing, maybe rayquaza59 can get it :)

By the title of the topic, I thought one of the members here was trying to sell their Nspire. Personally, I've decided not to get one. I'm going to get a Prizm instead. The only way I'd consider getting an Nspire is if it was dirt cheap (like 10$) or free. :P

I'd like a Prizm too, but I don't like the way it looks. However, I won't get a CX either (at least for now).

sorry Scout, I won against TI-Cares FR. The free keypad was mentioned on TI France's website, but I couldn't enter a French-syntax address, so I emailed TI-Cares, who told me it wasn't possible for french people to get it for free (although it was written "FREE" on the website, and no message to tell us it's not possible in france). I then told us that I spent more than 200€ of TI Calcs and that I hoped I could be considered as a normal customer, and then they told me it's possible. I should receive it between today and next wednesday :)

/me  wins!

Very well, one can't give up if he's right! Hope you'll be coding more Basic (who knows Axe and Assembly?) for the 83+ series soon again. Now you can test SimpleCS and not just use SourceCoder.

I think I'll use both, because TI-84 doesn't allow to write letters in small format (i don't know the word in english for the small letters, just the one for capitals letters, sorry :/) ;)

You're mistaken rayquaza, the 83+ can indeed use lowercase (small letters):

Code: [Select]
Hello World!
You can do that, I made this (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/434/43475.html) for the job, but there are lots of programs like that.

waouh!! that's awesome!!!!!! I'll try it when I'll receive my keyboard ;)

Actually the lowercase letters take less place on the screen than capital ones, so I can write longer words >:D

Their size (in bytes) is the double I think though, and they occupy the same on the screen I think.

If you don't want to use my program, just type this in the homescreen:

Code: [Select]
Asm(FDCB24DEC9

is it a program which is already in the calc? (I mean the FDCB24DEC9 thing)

That code is Assembly code (the language of the microprocessor). However, that assembly code is in the form of hexadecimal.
Here's what it would look like if it were Assembly:

Code: [Select]
set 3,(iy+36)
ret

It's not a program that already exists, we're just setting bits that allow us to type lowcase.

ALSO, we're going a LOT OFFTOPIC. Sorry about that.

Make sure it's not a prototype, though.

Actually, you'd have to make a program with the following code:
Code: [Select]
:AsmPrgm
:FDCB24DEC9

Then you could run Asm(progname) to set the lowercase flag.

Asm() doesn't let you run hex code directly, otherwise that would help BASIC programmers, and TI would never do that...

why did TI didn't put the function for lowercase flag in their OS if it's there?
Title: Re: Ti Nspire for sale
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 13, 2011, 04:31:19 pm
I never understood either, unless they feared people would abuse text in programs and fill their RAM too fast. Lowercase chars takes 2 bytes instead of 1.

That's good to hear. I hope they'll change the information on their website so that others are not mislead in the future.

Always awesome when a customer wins like that :D

Nope, gotta put AsmPrgmFDCB24DEC9 in a prgm and run it with Asm(prgmNAME. Getting it mixed up with Axe? :)

TI does some very weird stuff.
