General Information about libcalccables

  
The libcalccables library is a part of the CalcForge project and constitutes with the other libraries a complete framework for developing linking and/or TI calculator files oriented applications.

Overview

The libcalccables library is able to handle the different link cables designed for TI's graphing calculators (also called handhelds) in a fairly transparent fashion. With this library, the developer does not have to worry about the different link cables' characteristics as well as the different platforms.
The library provides a complete API which is very easy to use and makes things easier.

The library is completely independent of the Operating System and can be used on several platforms such as:
- any flavor of GNU/Linux (i86, Alpha, Sparc, iPAQ, ...),
- Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7,
- Mac OS X.

The library supports all the currently available link cables:
- the home-made parallel (aka $5-cable),
- the home-made serial (aka $4-cable),
- TI's BlackLink,
- TI's GrayLink,
- TI's SilverLink,
- TI's DirectLink.

The library supports also some 'virtual' link cables for connection with emulators:
- Virtual TI (VTi),
- TiEmu,
- Emu-TIGCC (uses the TiEmu protocol),
- TilEm (uses the TiEmu protocol).

This library has already been used by various projects (such as CalcForgeLP, Emu-TIGCC, KTIGCC) and by other developers.

Requirements

In order to work, the library may need some external drivers: You also need GLib 2.x.

Bug Reports

There may still be some bugs in the library, please report them to our bug tracker.
