Resources

At the time of this revision, there is very little known documentation on how to program Nspire calculators. Below is a list of resources that contain information on Nspire Basic.

• This article details how to make a program on Nspire family calculators.

• TI Codes by Texas Instruments contains some basic information on how to program an Nspire.

• The TI-Nspire Programming eGuide, made by TI, should have documentation of most Nspire commands.

• This PDF mostly describes how to use an Nspire CX CAS, but contains some programming information as well.

• This page provides some basic information on how to do Lua Scripting on an Nspire.

• Former teacher John Hanna has made some very impressive Nspire programs (though most appear to be in Lua, not TI-Basic), so check these out if you're looking for example Nspire programs and games.

• This PDF shows some basics of making Nspire programs, then demonstrates how to make complex math programs.

• This YouTube playlist has several videos showing how to do algebraic things on Nspire calculators.

• This page by TI-Basic Wikia shows some of the basics of Nspire programming.

• Compass Learning Technologies has several pages on how to use an Nspire, including a page on programming.

• This wiki contains some information on a variety of Nspire topics, including how to hack an Nspire.

• This site details Lua scripting for Nspire calculators. (As a side note, the more research I do, the more it seems that Lua scripting is the easiest way to make advanced Nspire programs...)

• This PDF shows how to make a coin tossing program, and contains the code for a program that simulates the rolling of dice.

• This is a guide to programming an Nspire CX, but it isn't free.

• This is a Google Groups discussion on programming an Nspire. I wouldn't post anything there, however, since it has been nearly a decade since the most recent post.

• You'll have to download this slideshow on Nspire programming, but you can access it for free if you activate Scribd's 30 day free trial.

• This Cemetech discussion has information on doing Micro Python programming on an Nspire.

• Focusky has the same slideshow that Scribd does, and you can view it for free if you still have a computer that supports Adobe Flash Player.

• This article by TI-Planet details how to program Nspires in Micro Python.

• This Nspire manual over at manualslib has some information on programming.

• This discussion over at Code Walrus has information on programming an Nspire with a Squirrel language variant.
