TILP (formerly GtkTiLink) can transfer data between Texas Instruments graphing calculators and a computer. It works with all link cables (parallel, serial, Black/Gray/Silver/Direct Link) and it supports the TI-Z80 series (73..86), the TI-eZ80 series (83PCE, 84+CE), the TI-68k series (89, 92, 92+, V200, 89T) and the Nspire series (Nspire Clickpad / Touchpad / CX, both CAS and non-CAS)

TiLP always fails to connect properly with my calculator on i3. I tried to install GNOME and for some reason it did work with a Desktop Environment but this of course comes with a lot of dependencies.

Well... is there a chance you could tell us what you did to make it work, or whether you gave up ? That might help other users :)

After having the issue open for 5 days I thought that I was most likely being ignored because the problem has to do with a Gnome's auto-mounting utility which I uninstalled together with Gnome and not with the actual program. I guess that if I want to mount my calculator properly without relying on a desktop environment I'll have to dig into my udev rules. I have Gnome's disk utility installed but that doesn't do the trick.

Unlike some models from competitors, e.g. the Casio Prizm family, all of TI's graphing calculators and USB cables are devices in vendor-specific device class, which do therefore not expose any of the standard file-oriented device classes (MSD, PTP, MTP, etc.), and consequently, are not recognized as standard devices out of the box by anything.
