All TI calculators have two open-drain lines. There is a method under Fargo to access each line individually for input and output (see "lowlevel.txt"), but in most cases where byte-transfers are needed, TI's built-in link routines are simple and effective to use. The protocol used by these routines will be described here:
When the lines are not active they are high. You should remember that if an end of an open-drain line is pulled-down (connected to the ground) by a device, all devices that are attached to that line (including the device that pulled the line down) will read a low signal even if they are trying to pull the line up.
We will assume that Calculator1 (C1) want to send a byte to Calculator2 (C2). The lines will be refered by L1 and L2. In the text "10" means L1 high and L2 low, and "01" means L1 low and L2 high.
C1 will wait until it reads a 00.
This will be repeated 8 times in order to transfer a bit.
This protocol used by TI on their calculators, is an effective protocol. But in most cases you do not need to go through those details when programming, since everything is made by the built-in ROM routines. To learn more on the byte level protocol, look at \doc\ti-prot.txt
