transference problems

Loki · Post by **Loki** » Mon 21 Nov, 2005 6:58 pm

Im having problems sending programs to my TI-83+ (from my TI-84+SE and other TI-83+). At first I thought it was my cord, so I tried sending something to my friend's 83+ with the same cord, and it worked. We even did some 2 player Ztris. So I'm guessing its a problem with my link port on the 83+. Anyone know how to fix it, aside from buying a new calc?

Which software? Can you get two calculators to talk to eachother?

Yeah, but not to the 83+. I can send stuff to my friend's 83+ and his 84+SE, but it just seems to be my 83+ that wont accept anything. It always gives the ERR:XMIT on the sending calculator. the OS on my 83+ is 1.18 and the OS on my 84+SE is 2.30

Make sure on calc to calc transfer that the recieving calc in in recieve mode before you press send. Otherwise: clicky.

It's probably a TI led conspiracy to force people into thinking what piece of cr@p the 83+es are and will buy the 84+ instead.

Odd, the topic was deleted. Oh well, its said that the leads had become disconnected and a quick soldering job ought to fix it, if you're careful.

My PC<->Calc cord used to only work when it was held in certain ways ... its was very picky (now it doesnt work at all

). My 2 calcs can talk to each other just not the computer, ive even made some serial links which didnt work either.

It can be especially frustrating as i havent been able to test anything on hardware in well over a year now

.

Hope you can get it fixed Loki.

The screwdriver that you need is a Torx 6 driver. You can get them for cheap on the internet, and usually is a fairly simple job if you have soldered before.
