A Newbies Journey with the TIPI

I’m all setup. Now have to find time to actually use it.

Just got mine set up today also. Very excited to explore it this weekend!

For those who don't like to type, there is an easier way to load TIPI network programs on the TI. You can use a program like BOOT, or the 9640 Menu System.

When you configure the path, instead of something like DSK1.PROGNAME, you type in URI1.PROGNAME then save the update.

Of course this requires you to go into your TIPICFG and make the appropriate change...

Now when you load TIPI stuff, it'll feel like you are loading it right off your own system, it's essentially 'transparent'.

It works with every program listed (so far) in << GREG'S NEW THREAD >> for TIPI enabled software.

Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE my TIPI?

Oh yeah... if you load stuff THIS WAY, you'll always be using the latest and greatest version.

A couple suggestions so far:

In the editing program:

1) Put stars for the password after you type it [emoji4]

2) When I tried to type a SSID with a space, it didn’t like it. When I tried to go correct it afterward, the editing acted somewhat strange (FCTN 1, 2, 3, S, D)

Hardware hookup:

3) Key the eight pin cable if we can

I had the issue with the spaces in SSID also. It accepted them as input but everything after the first space disappeared (though if you positioned the cursor over the characters after the space, they would blink). I ended up changed my SSID to remove the spaces to solve that problem.

Otherwise I really didn't have much trouble getting up and running.

1 then you couldn't verify the PW is correct. Maybe a toggle

2 the editor is fixed in git waiting for Matt to push an update

3 I'm thinking about a label with obvious orientation as you can't key either side

@JediMatt42 or @ElectricLab

I'm wondering, would it be possible to ~~get~~ ALLOW "RemindMe!" to save & load it's data file over MYTI99.COM using the URI path method? If so, it would be a great way for everyone to schedule online Chatti sessions, Chess games as well as other games with one shared community calendar.

If not, does any know of a URL and or site we might be able to use for that purpose?

For #3, you can get a keyed cable like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-IDC-10Pin-Hard-Drive-Data-Extension-Wire-Flat-Ribbon-Cable-Connector-50cm/171911897420?hash=item2806bf614c:g:ZswAAOSwgQ9V4aHpand just make sure you mark both sides

Omega-TI · May 21, 2018

For those who do not like cords sticking out all over the place, << THESE 90^o ADAPTERS >> might interest you for your TIPI's RPi.

+arcadeshopper · May 21, 2018

If your cable is longer than the one included you may not see the same performance and we will tell you to go back to the included cable to fix it.

To add support for including directories, you should increase the size of the TYP$ array by one, and set type 6 to "DIR"

jjh76 · May 28, 2018

when loading the telnet program, is there a way to make it so that you don't have to setup the backspace key every time?

Omega-TI · May 28, 2018

To add support for including directories, you should increase the size of the TYP$ array by one, and set type 6 to "DIR"

You also have to change line 120 to "IF A>4 THEN 80" so you can directory the TIPI root directory, but if you do that, you get BAD VALUE in 280 without changing line 260 to "IF ABS (A)=6 THEN 290 " and then it works until it hit's a PROGRAM file and promptly crashes with another BAD VALUE in 280.

Casey · May 28, 2018

Yes. Add this line to your .profile file:

stty erase ^H

To do this directly from the TI:

Telnet to the raspberry pi, and login as the tipi user.

Copy the .profile file to a backup: cp .profile .profile_orig

Add the line to your .profile: echo 'stty erase ^H' >> .profile

Log out and back in again and it should be effective.

Verify that the file was updated: cat .profile

Type the ^H in the echo statement as 2 separate characters and it will still work.

jjh76 · May 28, 2018

got it, ty

+jedimatt42 · May 28, 2018

There is a better fix:

sudo usermod -s /bin/bash tipi

Backspace works correctly without the stty command, and ctrl-i is tab, so tab completion works.

I intend to make this fix to the stock image and update scripts.

Got my old black & silver wireless mouse working with TI-Artist today!

Agreed! To that end, a "Community Calendar" program written that could save and load data just like Chatti or SNEK would allow people to notify the TIPI community of events or setup meeting times in advance. For instance, I plan to spend quite a bit of time in my den on the 4th doing video work, so Chatti will be on... FOR HOURS! I would welcome a chat with a member or two to break up the tedium.

Using RXB has CALL CAT(1) and you can use space bar to pause the listing.

Also RXB does Directories already. CALL CAT("WDS.MYXBPGMS.GAMES1.")

Rxb2015 crashes if the directory has a large number of files. TIPI has no limit
