I genuinely did this same thing back in highschool in 2014. I integrated a Bluetooth chip into my calculator connected to the 2.5mm IO port which communicated with my phone (which has cellular) to send wolfram alpha API commands from the calculator and receive the results back. I recently thought about bringing it back and integrating chat gpt into the mobile app I made for the Bluetooth communication. It started with me making a line plotter that plugs into the IO port controlled by an arduino that draws graphs from the graphing screen where I reverse engineered the IO protocol of the calculator and wrote a library for arduino to communicate with the calculator. From there I designed and laser cut a little 3 axis plotter controlled by 3 servos. I did that because I was tired of drawing graphs on my math homework, it worked great haha. From there I went big with the wolfram alpha integration. I should have documented it and posted my project online. Side note I saw this video in my recommended and I havent watched it yet, I just felt I had to share my experience with a presumably similar project I did.

When I was in high school in the 90s, I had a little enterprise setup. I wrote programs for the TI series calculators that could "show the work" for math tests. I sold these programs for $5 during lunch and study hall. I never could quite figure out a DRM, so there were also resellers. It just so happens that I also worked in the principal's office for one period a day, and they could not figure out why test scores were up like 20% across the board for certain classes. Back then, teachers were NOT savvy about these calculators. It really should've been obvious because these programs weren't *that* sophisticated. They watched test taking like hawks, but never figured it out. The funniest part is, I personally never cheated. Writing the code is how I learned the material.

[@HarmonicaMustang]

My calculator has formulas written in permanent marker on the back and inside of the cover. They came in useful for GCSEs, A-levels, and even uni. Never been caught, and I still have this calculator. I'm still terrible at maths, but I'm far better at solving problems, so it just got me the results that showed I can do this stuff, just on my own terms instead of a predetermined way that didn't work to my strengths.

[@MrScorpianwarrior]

I am in my Masters program right now, and what I have learned is that people will ~always~ find a way to cheat. There is nothing wrong with professors making it harder, but if you want to pay $40,000k+ (in the US, at least) for education and choose to not learn anything, that is on you, man. Plus, you're often allowed notes and the book on college exams, because they are only so useful. All that to say, this is fucking sick! Not because I have any need for it, but because it is such a cool integration of novel technologies!

😭I made the same thing 3 years ago, but it used Bluetooth (easier to work with/use) to connect to my phone instead. It had a chatroom and Google (no ChatGPT back then) but no photos or games or camera. So, yours is definitely better. Problem was, there was no one to chat with, and yea, Google sucked. As for the camera, I think you could take out one of the black screws on the back and hide the camera behind there. On my calculator, the screws were behind rubber feet, so the camera would be hidden. If you have a thicker model with the recessed screws, the darkness should cover the camera. Connect the camera to your microcontroller with a ribbon cable, write a new command, and voila. If you make the command send the image to the ChatGPT API, you should be able to look at your logs to get the image back for future reference. Or just make a camera command. As for alternate designs, it just has to *look* like a Ti-84. So, strip the guts, leaving only the shell, screen, and keypad. Glue in lead weights to make it weigh the same. Option 1: Then you can add in a raspberry pi (remove the ethernet and usb and headphone jack to reduce height if using full size, or just use a zero/pico). Now you run an emulator on the rpi to get back its functionality or use a custom rom. Add capacitive touch to the dpad to use as a mouse (for smooth movement, otherwise just use it to move 100px in the direction of the click. if you pick the second option you can also use 2, 4, 6, 8 for the 4 directions), on for left click, enter for right click. Add whatever else you need (wireless cards, antenna, apps etc.) You now have a mini-pc at your fingertips. Option 2: Just stick a phone in there with a 3d printed case to hold it in position (otherwise case is too big and phone slides around). Use any sort of microcontroller to simulate the rom-clearing experience/steps. But normally just use the phone. You can have the calc screen click in and slide down exposing the phone screen through a rectangle window, then make the number pad buttons capacitive, so they tap the phone screen. Just write your own app that meets our design constraints (small rectangle window on top, an input button behind every physical button, etc.) These are obviously a lot more complex but have their own benefits. Explore if you feel like it.

good tip

tough shit. public domain

[@tyzoid]

@@crazyforgg It's actually not, it's owned by Playboy. They just decided not to enforce it against academic use, I suspect partly because it's difficult to overcome fair use. That said, ethical science is all about being respectful to people, and most journals now reject papers that use the image.

Fantastic work! a tip for the mosfets though: Those aint small nor as tricky enough to pull out a microscope or a hot surface. Smudge some thick flux paste on the pads, stick misfit on it and solder with thin tip soldering iron. they aint worth active flux nor all the hassle you went through.

Its definitely coming! Didn't mention it in this video, but the same thing that made me postpone that video was the same level shifter! Now that I know what the issue is there, I can probably finish up that project. I wont disappoint you!

I thought about this concept 30 years ago, but so had the testers. The rules specifically forbid the use of a calculator during non-math potions of the SAT.

[@markuswiegleb9871]

Holy Cow. We used these TI-83 plus Things back in school in 200x . I remember playing Zelda and stuff on it. It was some kind of art to make the craziest things run via assembler code. We were even using the transfer cables to excange the gameboy roms. I wasn't aware those calculators are a still a thing in 2024.

[@uncommonsense360]

I've been waiting for this before taking my FE exam, thanks!

[@sanantonio855]

If the test doesn't allow you a TI-Nspire it's easy enough so you can learn, and if it does then it's hard enough no calculator "cheating" will help.

I have had the TI-84 Plus for 2 years now and after I jailbreaked it I just played games and stopped using it but now Chroma got me using it again.

[@skylark.kraken]

I just wrote on the back of my calculator in black. We weren’t allowed graphing calculators just scientific calculators and so their only regulation was that we couldn’t bring the case of the calculator in. I never ended up needing to read the back of my calculator but it was nice knowing it was there, I don’t consider it cheating because the exams should be evaluating my ability to use tools and not just remember them

[@GoddessOfMisfortune]

I guess I'll have to dig my ti-84 out, haven't touched it in over a decade, but man this seems like a fun setup.

[@primoroy]

TRUE! If you can write a program to solve "the problem", you know your stuff!

[@user-nq5hy7vn9k]

Bruh. I have been searching for something like this for AGES. Thanks

[@societl]

my personal “smartest” way is cheated a test was by writing down answers a friend had given me before hand on my desk in which i could cover with my arm and then erase after done because they were the type of desk you could just smudge away writing

[@surrealchemist]

When I was taking Calc in college they had a no calculator policy and that was before all this extra tech. I had to memorize every equation and would write them down on the exam book as soon as I got it just to be safe. Years later, I haven’t ever used calc at all… it was just a prerequisite for some engineering courses I ended up not even taking
