Title: Using A Clickpad With Newer (Dark Blue) Nspire (non-CAS) *lol i mistaked*
Post by: XVicarious on January 04, 2011, 06:09:25 pm
Would this be possible? If i bought a clickpad off TI's website, would I be able to use it with my Nspire? Its light blue. Bought it Sunday, but can preloaded with OS 2.0.something

The light blue Nspire, by default, comes with the clickpad.  Actually, the clickpad will work with any non-CAS TI-Nspire.  Likewise, the touchpad will also work on any non-CAS calculator, provided that it has OS 2.0 or greater!

Yep, it will work fine, although it will look a bit strange with the light blue keypad and the dark blue calc. :P

THat said, on a programmer point of view, I guess as long as it works it doesn't matter. ;D

The battery pack you may be able to find an equivalent model elsewhere for less, unless it uses a proprietary connector.

Good luck finding the rechargeable battery if it doesn't come with the calc, though. Apparently it's incredibly hard to find in retail stores.

Is it really needed? It should work just fine with normal AAA batteries (I've only checked Eneloops (http://www.amazon.com/Sanyo-Eneloop-Pre-Charged-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B000IV2YLY) but fail to see why any other models may refuse to work).

It is optional, and goes in its own compartment for additional battery life. The biggest reason to get it would be charging over USB.

Yeah it's optional. It's just for those who use their calc often. When running an Ndless game or program that sets the CPU to 150 MHz, a set of batteries lasts between 15 and 60 minutes in the calc.

That might just be your batteries. Ive used the same set of batteries with ncaster for hours back when I was working on 3d maze.

Could it be due to the fact I would run ASM programs for the entire hour straight, without quitting? That said, they were not the best batteries, though. I think the Energizer regular set lasted one hour and half, or maybe less. But when I coded ILlusiat 13 on the 84 emulator, a set of energizers would last 3-4 weeks in my Nspire.
