fxMouse - Control your pc with casio fx9860

[helder7]

Pressed hard until it wouldn't go in any further. It's loose for both calcs. May be the cable is the issue. Waiting for my 3pin to serial cable to arrive to test again.

I suggest you do the following test:
1-Turn on the calculator
2-Go to: Link menu and change the settings:
Cable Type: 3pin
Wakeup:On
Capture: Memory
3-Turn off the calculator
4-Connect the cable 3pins, if the serial port is intact, the calculator should turn on alone (without pressing any key)

I am trying to connect two FX9860GII's together using a cable that I took from the box of a brand new FX9860GII-2. Could that be the problem?

You could check the cable jack's diameter with a slide gauge.
Every now and then I encountered this issue with some of my calculators, too. Could be mended by adjusting the tension of the contact's spring. But to do that, the calculator has to be opened!

I suggest you do the following test:

Ah, that worked! But still couldn't transfer a file between the two calcs (from "Link" using the trans/recv buttons). Got 'transmit error'. I was trying to send a G1A though, could that be a problem? Flourish also didn't work.

@SimonLothar, the device name is something like?

Code: Select all

\\\\?\\USB#VID_07CF&PID_6101#5&15a1c23b&0&1#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}

eventghost returns this name when I open the add-in (oncalc) compiled with Comm_ Syscalls.

I have the following code in python (that eventghost can run), I'm in the right way?

Code: Select all

    import win32file
    import win32con
    import binascii

    print "starting"

    name = "\\\\?\\USB#VID_07CF&PID_6101#5&15a1c23b&0&1#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}"

    handle = win32file.CreateFile(
        name,
        win32con.GENERIC_READ|win32con.GENERIC_WRITE,
        win32con.FILE_SHARE_READ | win32con.FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
        None, # no security
        win32con.OPEN_EXISTING,
        0,
        0
    )

    buffer = win32file.AllocateReadBuffer(2)

    err, data = win32file.ReadFile(handle, buffer)
    if err == 0:
        print binascii.hexlify(data)
    else:
        eg.PrintError("Error")
       
    win32file.CloseHandle(handle)

    print "finished"

Sorry for the delay. I've been on some other, non-CASIO projects.

For my fx-9860 types I get
\\?\USB#VID_07CF&PID_6101#5&33C53628&0&1#{A5DCBF10-6530-11D2-901F-00C04FB951ED}
when I use Setup-API to enumerate VID=07CF and PID=6101.

The CLASSPAD communication DLL prefers CLSID {CDE970E0-E265-11D5-8E17-0000C0CBB2F3}, which yields
\\?\USB#VID_07CF&PID_6101#5&33C53628&0&1#{CDE970E0-E265-11D5-8E17-0000C0CBB2F3} as device name on my system.

The complete device name depends on the individual system.
If you have a program, which outputs the device name, you can use this name for your system. But you cannot use this name on a different system.

Thanks for the info.
