A lua script for solving triangles on the Ti-Nspire

Primary LanguageLua

Nspire-Triangle

I started to learn about Lua scripting for the TI-Nspire suite of calculators. There is a lot of cosmetic work to be done for this project however it currently functions quite well. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

Compile

Compile the Lua file to a tns file, then download it to a supported device. I suggest using Luna to compile, its easy and you should be able to figure it out.

Usage

  • Open the document "triag" (or whatever you name it) on your calculator
  • Enter exactly 3 values for the triangle you would like to solve
    • You may press [tab] or [shift]+[tab] to cycle input boxes respectively
  • Press [Menu] > [1 Solve] > [1 Calculate]

The triangles solution should be displayed on the lower half of the screen. If there are 2 solutions they will be shown in the same location but will read "value 1 or value 2"

To Do

  • Figure out if I can remove the sub level of the menu
  • If I can't rename it to something like "Menu"
  • Convert the string to not overwrite the answers array
  • Add option to save output to variables then into another document
  • Add option to save inputs
  • Add on.save event handler to save inputs and answer outputs
