how to start #17

Closed mvolkmann closed 4 years ago

mvolkmann commented 4 years ago

I have installed clibs.8xg and PCAS.8xp on my TI-84 Plus CE. The instructions say "If you have CE OS 5.3 or higher, simply execute prgmPCAS on the calculator." I have CE OS 5.4. I press prgm, select PCAS, and press enter. The screen says "prgmPCAS". I press enter again and it says "ERROR: MEMORY" and "Memory is insufficient to perform the calculation. Check infinite recursions or loops."

Am I missing a step?

I am having the same problem and could really benefit from this on an upcoming exam! Please help :,(

jaymnorth commented 4 years ago

I am not too sure how but I got the program archived and now it works like a charm! This is great

nathanfarlow commented 4 years ago

Take a look at issues #13 #14 or #15 and see if the steps solve your issue. The solution should be to archive the program as @jaymnorth did.

I archived the PCAS program. Now when I press prgm I see that PCAS has a * in front of it. I suppose that indicates that it is archived. When I select it, I see "prgmPCAS" in the display. I press enter to execute it and still get "Memory is insufficient ...". Is there something more I'm supposed to do in addition to archivig PCAS?

It looks like you've successfully archived PCAS. (Although I wonder if sending to RAM then archiving on calculator has different results then sending to the calculator archive directly through TI Connect CE?) Based on comments from #8, try archiving programs you don't want to lose and then reset the RAM of the calculator by pressing reset button on the back for 2 seconds. Also make sure you've archived all the clibs according to https://github.com/nathanfarlow/PineappleCAS/issues/13#issuecomment-563061454. Let me know how this works out for you so I might be able to update the readme because this is a common issue.

Archiving all my programs enabled PCAS to work! I did not do anything to archive the clibs. #13 doesn't seem to address that and I don't know how to archive a library, only programs. I only had three programs installed: PACMAN, PCAS, and TETRICA.

Glad it's working! Thanks for the report back on what worked.
