TI-83+ Link Protocol Guide - Miscellaneous

##

Miscellaneous

This topic contains various stuffs introduced with Ti-Connect which can not be put at another place.

#### Ready / Status

The protocol for getting statuss is shown below:

Step | Direction | Packet
--- | --- | ---
1 |  |  |  | RDY
2 |  | ACK with status

The 2 bytes after the MID & CID contains a status word. The status word may contain version information but this is unsure.
But, the bit #0 of the MSB contains status (0 = ready, 1 = not ready).

#### Creating a folder

Not applicable for this hand-held series.

#### Deleting a variable

The protocol for silently deleting a variable is shown below:

Step | Direction | Packet
--- | --- | ---
1 |  |  |  | DEL
2 |  | ACK
3 |  | ACK

Example (PC creating a folder on TI):

PC: | `23 88 00 0B` `00 00 00 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 00` | Variable header: "A"
TI: | `73 56 00 00` | Acknowledgement of header
TI: | `73 56 00 00` | Acknowledgement of deletion ?
