Warning: Transfers aren't working with the last 6330 firmware. Other functions may not work with firmware 6330 or latest, please use the official Connectivity Kit.



Version 0.9 b22 (Updated 2014-05-24)
Download: http://servicios.ried.cl/primecomm/Prime...9.22.0.exe
Source: https://github.com/eried/PrimeComm
How it was made: http://ried.cl/en/franqueando-los-secret...a-inversa/
Requires the .Net Framework 4.0 (this is probably already installed in your machine)

The main purpose of this application is to allow the user to send and receive programs from the HP Prime Calculator. Besides this purpose, the application has few handy extra features:

• Can convert from images1, plain txt, chip8 ROMs, other kinds of hpprgm to a valid (unnamed) hpprgm file (that can be saved, sent to the emulator, device, etc)
• Includes a code editor (PrimePad), that has line numbers, syntax highlighting and all the features included in PrimeComm, including the conversion from/to differents formats. This editor includes printing and printing preview of the source code for the people who still love using the real-world™ paper.
• The application can do some refactoring over the programs, as an example: it can remove the comments when you are sending the file to the calculator to save precious flash memory space, rename long variables into an obfuscated one (pattern you can set in the advanced settings), remove empty lines and spaces at your will.
• The package includes a small brother application for console/automated/batch operations. PrimeCmd uses exactly the same libraries from PrimeComm, so it is merely a layer to access these features in an automated manner.
• PrimeSkin allows the user to edit the emulator skins.
• Coming soon: PrimeScreen (screen capturer with fullscreen mode and stream record), more enhancements to PrimePad, etc.
  

Enjoy!

PrimePad is included and has a dynamic reference now!:




Other screens:


1 ICON (PNG) image mode isn't available due poor description of the encoding (it is "working" but the image isn't properly encoded yet with common png encoders)

Demos:
Version 0.1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QGBjOD3LHo (Send and receive)
Version 0.5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxG-R0QZ-qI (Conversion to plain text)
Version 0.7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVALe40TPkc (Command server mode)

BTW, I don't use mac nor linux a lot, but .Net is portable to both:


The problem is... A new hidusb library is required (mainly just the filestream operations, usb enumerations and simple stuff)
