+jedimatt42 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 I am aware. Just didn't perceive it as a priority.. more of a novelty feature to me. In diagnosing it just now, it looks like the conversion tool didn't compile during one of my image creations... hopefully just something I forgot to do/document Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Uh, yep, I cloned the source, but the installation script doesn't build it if the 'directory' is there, instead of checking for the executable. So I'll need to fix the update script... and build new base images. In the mean time, you can ssh into the PI as user tipi and run: sudo /home/tipi/tipi/setup/printing_setup.sh After that, your PI.PIO printing pleasantries should proceed to produce. No reboot required. This will take a while on slower devices. There are some 80-ish 3rd party packages required that it will fetch and download, and then compile the epson converter. I will craft the update fix in a way that this will not repeat if you have done it already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely be using that feature quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the TIPI/PDF method over the TI99Dir method myself, but have been using that method until the fix is in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still slow to print (probably the pi zero). However, it works well! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jedimatt42 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 If it is BASIC that you are messing with, you can open the source files in the TIPI browser UI. Or, you can use a properly named PC text file and just let the TIPI transform it to BASIC when loading. This takes discipline though, which can be remarkably hard in the face of 35 year old habits.

Yeah, I've done that for small alterations here and there, but like you say, "old habits". I prefer doing my programming on the TI for nostalgic reasons, but have also been known to use Classic 99 since it can share the same files over the network with TIPI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty nifty and saves the trouble of transferring the files to the TI subsequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw very similar issue a while back, but it cleared up with a Tipi update, I think to 2.5. Does not seem to be misbehaving for me now.

+jedimatt42 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 Update ver 2.8 - 2020-10-05 - Fix name handling to strip trailing whitespace when translating to the local unix filename. - Fix encoding type for native files, and suppressed encoding errors while counting lines when generated the CATALOG file. - Fix PI.PIO epson to PDF converter installation check on upgrade If you don't have the PI.PIO fix discussed a few weeks back, then this may look like a pretty slow upgrade. If the print converter is already installed, it'll skip this work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force command is working better with this version update! Still working through understanding the changes in both TIPI and Force Command 1.0. BTW. I had already done the PI.PIO fix. However, my TIPI update was still spinning at >8 hours. I shut everything down and did another CALL TIPI and restarted the update. It completed in < 5 minutes. After rebooting the version is now 2.8. (It could have been my system configuration with the attached nanoPEB. I pulled it off the chain before the final upgrade.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PrinterToPDF software looks like it has productized fixes for my custom changes, so I plan to switch us to his code. The pre-requisites are what take forever, cause it drags in a bunch of XWindows stuff. So at least that should already be there. After that, I'll probably / plan to / build an updated SD Image, so those prerequisites are preinstalled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrissom Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Yep, I wuz fixin' to use the 2.5 image and start over (after backing up my TIPI directories) when the update said done!. I've tested the PI.PIO and its working fine. Thanks again for your efforts in creating this great new hardware and software for our TI's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keneg Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The mouse now just goes to the right and stays there unusable. I think this happened when I updated to version 2.8. It used to work. I have tried it with two USB mice. Has anyone else reported this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
