Hi all.
This week I successfully transfered text strings between a 48SX and a 50G. Both calculators was connected to a PC through a RS232 (48SX) and USB (50G). The PC was set to bridge both connections.
It actually worked. A text string was send with XMIT and recieved on the other calculator. It's a fully functional bidirectional connection.
My plan is to use a smaller computer like a Raspberry Pi or even an Arduino if the right library exist for it.
It's been a while since I did some serious programming on those calculators, so I'm a bit rusty. I want to write some sort of a client to transfer whole directories over the serial link. That way I can more easily live without Windows and just rely on my calculators.
Please comment below on your thoughts and ideas.
Thanks in advance.
