About The Project

In most schools nowadays, students use chromebooks. These chromebooks are usually locked down so you can't install games and other non-school related stuff. I believe this app should always have been available online the same way it is already for the TI-Nspire™ CX II. (https://nspireconnect.ti.com/nsc/) As a student myself, I found it pretty hard to find a program that works exactly the same as TI Connect CE The app most similar to a website was of course the one on the webstore so I went ahead, downloaded it and started patching everything. It works by emulating the environment of a platform app in a browser.

There MAY be some bugs so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Usage

For the install process (putting it on a webserver) the Automatic installation requires python code execution with access to the system.

If you are using a chromebook, you can either use the demo from above or follow the Manual installation.

1. Manual installation - DEPRECATED. USE AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION INSTEAD

THIS DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.

2. Automatic installation - Run a python script that will create a www folder that you can later on upload to a web server.

  1. Clone the repo. (git clone https://github.com/LateAlways/ti-connect-ce-browser.git)
  2. Enter the newly created directory. (cd ti-connect-ce-browser)
  3. Run generate.py. (python generate.py)
  4. Done! The files should be in a new folder titled www. You can upload these files anywhere on a webserver and then access the app from a browser.

Credits

The real-time python file conversion wouldn't have been possible without tivars_lib_cpp by adriweb.
