Welcome to the calcutils
project
This project's purpose is to provide a set of simple command line utilities
to allow linux users to work with their TI calculators over the USB link.
It is based on a large body of work already done by the TI user community. As
a reference please see the following sites:

Many people have been and are currently doing a lot of work to support
reversing the protocols as well as the inner workings of these addictive
little toys.
So, the question begs, with so much work already on the table, why start
another project? Well, based on what I have found the projects that exist
currently are in a state of flux and in particular linux support seems to be
a bit on the weak side.
In my experience, the linux philosophy has been to focus on something which
is not necessarily flashy, but will "just work," when you plug it in. The
present projects, while being noble efforts, do not seem to be accomplishing
this for the typical linux user, anyway.
Therefore, my goal is to fill in this missing void for us *nix users and
produce some software that hopefully will "just work" on the typical linux
box.
Right now, I only have a TI89 Titanium to play with, so that is the only
calculator that I can personally verify as functioning with this source code.
Will any other versions work? If they have a USB port perhaps. Experiment and
see. As of this revision the Nspire series is not supported.
The current source may be downloaded here.
An rpm package is also available.
