General Information about the TiCalcs library


  
The TiCalcs library is a part of the TiLP project and constitutes with the other libraries a complete framework for developping linking and/or TI files oriented applications.

Overview

The ticalcs library is a library which brings about all the functions needed to communicate with a Texas Instruments graphing calculator (or hand-held). Currently, it does not support some education devices (such as CBL/CBR and others).

This library is able to communicate with handhelds in a fairly transparent fashion. With this library, the developer does not have to worry about the packet oriented protocol, the file management and some other stuffs.
The library provides a complete API which is very easy to use and makes things easier.

The library supports all the currently available calculators and their associated file formats:
- TI8x calculators: TI73, 82, 83, TI83+, 85 and 86 (with 2 sub-classes: TI73/83+ & 85/86).
- TI9x calculators: TI89, 92, 92+ and V200PLT.

This library has already been used by various projects (such as TiLP, TiEmu) and by other developers. The list of developers/users can be viewed on the TiLP web site (Developers section).

Requirements

This library is dependant of the ticables and tifiles libraries.
At the time being, this library is dependant of the GLib (version 1.2), too. The GLIb is used for its GTree capabilites. This dependancy should be removed later with a built-in tree support.

Bug Reports

There may still be some bugs in the library, please send an email to roms.

History

This library is a part of the TiLP project. I have been working for 3 years on TiLP as well as on some other projects (TiEmu, TiGCC).
I wroten this library for several reasons:
- split code,
- share code between my various project,
- provide source code to others.

As most of Linux programs, I maintain a file which lists modifications. This is called a ChangeLog that you can find here.
