I want to connect my TI-84 Plus to my Ubuntu 11.04 laptop. I use the organelle cables to connect it. The program tilp(2)
didn't work or at least it didn't show my TI-84 Plus; I've tried to run it in root and in the normal way.

The libticables2-2 library supplied with Ubuntu 11.04 (and as of this writing, 11.10 too) supports the SilverLink cables only. I've just uploaded a patch which adds support for the TI-84+ calculator which is available in LP #747589.
tilp
group so you may use the device without running as roottilp
Instructions for installing tilp and getting it to work with the TI-84+:
tilp
package and its dependencies like libticables2-2: sudo apt-get install tilp
Download the patch:
wget https://launchpadlibrarian.net/79510370/new-devices-and-fixed-sysfs-warning.patch
Apply the patch to the installed udev rules:
sudo patch /lib/udev/rules.d/45-libticables.rules < new-devices-and-fixed-sysfs-warning.patch
Add yourself to the tilp
group:
sudo usermod -a -G tilp $USER
Now make known to tilp
that you're using a TI-84+ calculator by running:
tilp --calc=ti84+ --cable=DirectLink
This will set the calc=TI84+
and cable_model=DirectLink
in the ~/.tilp
configuration file. After running the above command, it's sufficient to run just tilp
in the future (using the application menu or by running the command directly).
