Hello,
trying to connect to ti-85 from win11, I can get screen capture.. but can not send, receive, backup and restore
when try to communicate, I get the following message:
Msg: timeout occured while reading from the device.
Cause: check that link cable is plugged and/or the calculator is ready.
It's a good thing that screenshots work, it means that your Windows computer is correctly configured :)
Unlike newer models, the 85 and 82 do not support so-called silent linking mode for variable / backup transfer: on the calculator side, they need to be manually put into send / receive mode.
So, is it what you're doing when attempting to communicate with TILP ? I'm asking because I've already seen other persons unaware that the 85 & 82 only support non-silent linking mode for transferring non-screenshot data.

Thanks for the replay...
to capture the screen from the calculator (refering to my previus photo) I just double screen -> refresh capture.
How to put the calculator in a mode where it could send and recieve?
ps: I'm using USB- to serial converter cable, and the TI cable the gray link.
Use 2nd + LINK, then:
* F1 to set the calculator in send mode and select what you want to send from the calculator for TILP to receive;
* F2 to set the calculator in receive mode before sending from TILP.

Just wanted to thank for this thread. I was able to get my important programs from my TI85 calculator to PC (Ubuntu 22.04). I didn't realize that one needs to select the files and set to be transmitted on calculatir side and click TILP to receive them.
another question: can one transform the program files into readable listings?
thanks for the great software!

libti*, gfm and tilp only deal with transferring data to/from TI graphing calculators (and in the development version, some pieces of lab equipment related to such calculators).
Detokenization, edition and tokenization of programs are performed by other programs; TI's official GraphLink software from at least 20 years ago targeting contemporary versions of Windows comes to my mind, but off the top of my head, I'm not sure which newer pieces of software might support the aforementioned operations on TI-85 programs...
