I used to know how to do this, but I've forgoten through disuse. I need to know why this won't work and how to make it work:


I know at one time (or at least I think) that I read somewhere that the recieving calculator must be paused, is this true? Because pausing didn't help:


Also, can you send programs to another calculator via ti-basic ( send(prgmX) )?

If I remember correctly, you can only use Getcalc(, but I could be wrong.

*Grabs Manual*

>Getcalc( gets the contents of variable on another TI-83 Plus and stores it to variable on the recieving TI-83 Plus. Variable can be a real or complex number, list element, list name, matrix element, matrix name, string, y= variable, graph database, or picture.

>Get(, Send(
>> Get( gets data from the CBL/CBR and stores it to variable on the receiving TI-83 Plus.

>>Send( sends the contents of variable to the CBL/CBR. You cannot use it to send to another TI-83 Plus.

Get and Send cannot be used as calc to calc linking, if I am reading this correctly...

And no, you can't send programs via BASIC... Unless you store a program to a string, and execute said program using the expr( command.

GETCALC!!!!!!!

But I just said that...

I just wanted to enphasize it, it took me a while to figure out this same problem (never having read the manual until 2003 )

I guess I'll have to rewrite quite a bit then. (I hope this doesn't change the way my program turns out too much)

At least now I know why not to use send and get. If I finish my program and if it's good enough, I might put it up for others to try. Although the program is kind of pointless...
