Posted: 24 Mar 2021, 09:46
For back to school 2020, Texas Instruments released additional Python modules allowing the use of a BBC micro:bit card on the TI-83 Premium CE Edition Python. These modules were also functional on the TI-84 Plus CE Python Edition but their menus remained in French regardless of the operating system language setting.Yesterday we finally informed you of the international launch of the Texas Instruments solution, with the release of English versions of these modules.
Micro:bit cards use a micro-USB connector and your calculator uses a mini-USB one. So you couldn't connect them out of the box and had to buy something more.A way to connect your calculator to a micro:bit card was to add a USB A female ↔ USB mini-B OTG male adapter to the micro-USB cable coming with your micro:bit card.
For less space, you could also use a single cable, a USB micro-B male ↔ USB mini-A male one. The Lindy one for example definitely works.Surprise, actually you don't need to buy anything.

After the TI-83 Premium CE Edition Python for France (back to school 2019) and the TI-84 Plus CE-T Python Edition for Europe (back to school 2020), does this mean that a TI-84 Plus CE Python Edition is on the way to be released for North America ?
Or maybe a TI-Nspire CX II update ?...
