Hey guys.  I am a new member here, and i need some help.  I got this image studio thing, so i can convert my BMP files to grayscale (for the calculator).  I believe the entire coding or something is in a Notepad.  I have no idea how to send it to my calculator.  Any ideas or suggestions?

OK what you need to do is compile the code.I would sugest downloading tasm and devpac8x from TIcalc.org and then after reading their manuals if you then do not understand what you need to do just ask and we will help you.

Are you looking to just display a picture?  Or do you plan to make a program w/ said picture?

If you just want to display a picture, I think you're looking for Rigview (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/193/19374.html).

From what he said the image studio pumps out some z80 asm that will display the greyscale picture and he need to compile that code to send it to his calc. But I may be wrong.

Wll you can make games in TI-BASIC too, altough they run much slower if you add insane graphics or too many options.

the calculator does not nativley support grayscale, im not sure if there is a program that displays pictures in grayscale or not but if there is it should include a converter. If you just want to do black and white pictures however, ti connect (the software used to send things to your calculator) can convert bmp formatted picture files to black and white that the calculator can use. After searching ticalc.org, here are several progams that display grayscale pictures. The top one has a converter program for windows, and looks to be your best bet. :)

*edit* Doh, didnt realize liazon beat me to it. :p At any rate, ticalc is a great resource for finding programs .
