HelloWorld not sending string

[M47H3W]

Although sending a string from the calculator to the arduino works, I cannot get the arduino to send the "Hello World" message to the calculator. I am using the example HelloWorld project.

Am I doing something wrong or is it the program? I don't see any reference to send() in the HelloWorld.ino file

Are you following the instructions at the top of the HelloWorld.ino to call Get(Str1) on the calculator? The Arduino can't send a string to the calculator without the calculator actively requesting it. Please see also the HIWORLD.8xp test program that contains Get() and Send() commands to interact with the Arduino.

Because the Arduino only sends a string on the calculator's request, the "sending" is callback-driven. Take a look at the onRequest() function: https://github.com/KermMartian/ArTICL/blob/81346efbfda32f356191439ef0f81ba8120f2546/examples/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.ino#L52-L77

Thank you for the reply! I was utilizing the HelloWorld.8xp file which that comes in the same directory. The get(Str1 command is included but never works unfortunately.

After some more testing if I clear out the Str1 variable then it will always fail and say "Err: Unknown" on the calculator, but sending from the calculator to the arduino seems to work okay.

I recorded this YouTube video showing the program

The Str1 variable is only updated when it is set by the user for sending from the calculator to the arduino. When I opened the program on the calculator a 2nd time in the video, it failed with Get(Str1 and just ended up showing the old value which was set for sending from calc -> arduino

Small update: It appears that using the exact same configuration, the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition works while the standard TI-84 Plus does not.

Additionally, setting a delay() inside onRequest() will delay the message being sent to the C Silver Edition while the standard TI 84 plus still takes the same amount of time to throw an error or return the wrong thing, so I guess this is a start.

I will attempt to see why this differs between the two but I'm not too experienced with this kind of thing.

I have figured out the issue and posted my findings on the forum. https://cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=282700#282700
