Internet on your Ti-84+CE and Ti-83 Premium CE

This is a high-level library for interfacing with the internet on Ti-84+CE and Ti-83 Premium CE.

The scope of the library

What InternetCE can do:

  • Acquire an IP address with DHCP.
  • Make HTTP Get and Post requests.
  • Send DNS requests.
  • Send UDP/TCP/IPv4/Ethernet. In particular, you can handle any web protocol that the lib don't, such as IRC, SSH, etc.
  • Send an ICMP echo reply when receiving an echo request (ping).

What InternetCE canNOT do:

  • Make HTTPS requests as TLS is not supported yet.
  • Display the content of the accessed URL (it only provides you the data).
  • Handle IPv6.
  • Download resources bigger than 65535 bytes.

Getting started

  • Plug the calculator to any RNDIS device (basically your phone). To this end, you may need to buy an adapter. The "final cable" you need is something that has a male mini USB Type A at one end (for the calculator) and a male micro USB or USB Type C at the other end (for your phone). You can use for example :
    • The charger of your phone (USB <-> Micro USB or USB Type C) (you should already have this).
    • A Mini USB Type A Male <-> USB Female cable - For example : https://aliexpress.com/item/32780744354.html
      Warning : Make sure you choose the Mini A cable (in the color section)!
  • Transfer a program that has been compiled with the library.
  • Run it, and enable the USB internet connection sharing. On Android, it should be near the Wi-Fi Tethering menu.

Example of use

git clone this project and put the include/internet.h file into the include folder of your toolchain. Then modify the file src/minimal.c as you wish. You can find other examples of what you can do with the lib in the examples folder. For information, the minimal program using this library would be:

#include <internet.h>

int main(void) {
	web_Init();
	while(!web_Connected()) {
		web_WaitForEvents();
	}
	// Do whatever you want
	web_Cleanup();
	return 0;
}

As mentioned, some examples of use are available in the examples folder. You can draw inspiration from those programs.
