I have a TI-89 Titanium and I want to connect it to my PC.

I downloaded TiLP but no luck connecting, I have a black and gray cable. I also tried TIemu but that also didn't work.

Thanks a bunch! :KS

Can you share a little more info on your problem?

For example:

0) What are the specs of the computer you're using?
1) Did the program install or compile correctly?
2) What have you tried to do with it?
3) Did it give any error messages?

I get erron=5 or something like that. My calculator just will not connect

Are you using a USB cable?
I found this in TiLP's README file:

Note2: direct USB cable of TI84+ / TI89 Titanium is currenly unusable by TiLP
but supported by our driver.

Then how are you suppos to connect a TI89Titanium? Seems to me that usb is the only way.

I checked the Texas Instruments website (http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/productCategory/us_connectivitycables.html), and they have serial cables listed as well as USB ones.
Before you shell out $30 for a new cable, you probably want to check if anyone has TiLP working with a TI-89 Titanium.

I don't have TiLP working with my TI-84. I wish they would just include the serial cable!

Try TiLP2. Its supposed to have USB DirectLink support.
