Sending ASCII Characters from or to the PRIME Message #1 Posted by Harold A Climer on 18 Oct 2013, 1:36 p.m. I was reading that the PRIME can act as USB host or client. Is it possible to send ASCII code to and from the calculator? We are having a Fall break at UTC on Monday and Tuesday of next week and I do not have any classes to teach until Thursday so I am going to try to hook up the Prime as well as my HP50G to a Vernier LabPro interface at school. The interface has both Serial and USB connectors. Note: I have used with a USB connection and a serial connection with a computer a they talk OK with either connection. I think that the 50G will only work using a serial connection.

While the host driver does support HID, it does not allow any device except a ss410, wireless dongle, or another Prime calculator to be connected and initialized. TW
