RE: Connecting the Prime
If you knew the wifi chipset used in the dongle then any wifi dongle with that chipset would most likely work. However, you'd have to use the USB interface as defined (it is out there....look at the prime wiki to get the link).....but the prime can only do limited things with wifi.....but I think it would take too much reverse engineering to figure it out.

That being said, you could interface a program from a laptop to the prime and interface a pi or arduino to the laptop and relay the info that way, or alternatively, use the pi as a usb master and do it that way. A lot of work. I'm sure if someone were to do it, others would take advantage of it.

It always amazes me that companies don't design their products to do this, as a calculator is the perfect engine to play with sensor data.....

my 2cents worth.
