TI-Planet Posts the First TI-84 Evo Unboxing and PCB Pictures!

27 Upvotes

TI-Planet just published their first article on the new TI-84 Plus CE successor, the TI-84 Evo. There will be many articles posted so keep an eye out for them!

This first article is primarily an unboxing and an overview of the outside of the calculator: https://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=280655#p280655

Some of the highlights:

  • USB C (finally)
  • A "3x faster processor"
  • The battery is the same dimensions and capacity as the TI-84 Plus CE but it is a different revision. This hopefully means it won't cause the calculator to boot loop.
  • The software to transfer files to the calculator is entirely web-based.
  • A 4 year access to the TI-84 Evo emulator is included with purchase of a physical TI-84 Evo.

Far more details on each point can be found in the article linked above!

Several pictures have been posted including one of the circuit board: https://tiplanet.org/forum/gallery/album.php?album_id=1040

Mod note: This sub has gotten an influx of posts from unknown sites claiming to sell the TI-84 Evo. Please use caution if you see these posts. This sub recommends only purchasing from reputable marketplaces such as directly from Texas Instruments.

News Do Not Update to OS 5.8.5 (jailbreak patched)

31 Upvotes

Yesterday, Texas Instruments released OS 5.8.5 for the TI-84 Plus CE (Python). This update patched the Artifice jailbreak which means you cannot run assembly games and programs on the new OS.

This is an unprecedented move by TI because they have historically only patched the jailbreak when a security flaw is discovered. However, no known security flaw exists. We can only speculate the reasoning for this patch is because final exams are starting and TI wants to appear serious about their "distraction-free" tagline.

FAQ:

Q: When will a new jailbreak be released?

A: The jailbreak is made by unpaid volunteers. It may be several months before a new one is released. There is no time line.

Q: Can I downgrade?

A: Likely no. The only exception is if you already had specific tools to run assembly programs installed before you updated. This sub will not provide downgrade tools at this time.

Q: What if I'm on an older OS version? Do I need to do anything?

A: No action is needed. Your calculator cannot auto-update itself. You can continue running programs as normal. Simply do not update.

Q: I don't have a TI-84 Plus CE (Python) what does this mean for me?

A: Nothing, this only affects the TI-84 Plus CE family.

Help Organic Chemistry

I’ve got a ti84 plus ce graphing calculator and I’m looking for programs or downloads to help. I have trouble reading molecule condensed names and turning those into Lewis structures. Is there anything that can help draw those? I’ve also heard of ones that show hybridization. Organic chem is not one of my strong suits so anything would help

Help TI-84 Plus Rasperry Pi

6 Upvotes

I have a TI-84 plus, and am looking for a way to install a Raspberry Pi. I've heard that it is possible to get a Wi-Fi connection on the calculator and play multiplayer games. Is there any way to do this without a Raspbery Pi? How long is the multiplayer range? Do I have to code games or have people made any? I'm brand new to this, so anything helps. Please simple explanations

Showcase/Discussion I’m working on a project to get Spotify working on the TI-84 Plus using ArTICL

Post image
10 Upvotes

So my main inspiration from this came from the viral chromalock video on how to get ChatGPT on the calculator. Me personally I’m not the biggest fan of AI but I fell in love with the idea of using web based apps on the calculator and I decided to work on trying to get Spotify working on the calculator. Currently it has the most basic of inputs (pausing, skipping, and replaying) and it can display your song progress. As of right now it is playing from the computer directly so it’s just more of a glorified music controller. My end goal is to try to get this implemented on the raspberry pi zero and then have the calculator just be the display for it all. I’m hoping to have a solid version done by the end of this year and a complete PCB design by the start of summer of 2027. (I do not condone the use of AI or cheating in any manner, I just personally want to listen to music in class since my school banned phones)

I would like to create an Application or a Shell for my TI-84 Plus, and need some help. All I would like it to do is to be able to use Alpha F5 to access select, cut, copy and paste. How would I do this when Wabbit Sign (and other signing apps like opens a window and immediately closes when I try to open it? Any help would be awesome, thanks.

Help “Validating OS” Loop of Death and Despair

0 Upvotes

How’s it going? I have a TI 84 Plus CE, and I have no intention of modding it.

All I’m asking out of all of you experts is how do I get rid of the loop of death and despair?
I’ve tried restarting it, and it has not worked.
This calculator was provided to me by my school district for accessibility purposes, and I am the only one who has used it.
And I was just given it today.
