Synopsis

Port Number: 02h

Function: Calculator Status Information

This port reports various status information, including battery strength, LCD driver status, and calculator type.

Read Values

• Bit 0: Set if the batteries are good. Reset if the batteries are low. The calculator will refuse to Garbage Collect or receive a FLASH App or OS when the batteries are low. The voltage cutoff can be configured in port 02.
• 83+SE / 84+(SE) only: Bit 1: At 15MHz this bit resets for a set delay after a command or data is sent to the LCD, otherwise this bit is always set. The amount of delay is controlled by port 2F. On the TI-73, this bit is always reset (this is how you distinguish between the 73 and 83+ series hardware).
• Bit 2: Set if Flash is currently unlocked.
• 83+ only: Bits 3-5:
  • Bit 3: Last value written to port 05 bit 0
  • Bit 4: Last value written to port 05 bit 1
  • Bit 5: Last value written to port 05 bit 2
• 84+(SE) only: Bit 5: Set for TI-84+ and TI-84+ SE calculators. Reset for TI-83+ and TI-83+ SE calculators.
• Bit 7: Reset for a TI-83+ Basic. Set for everything else.

Write Values

• No useful effect.

Comments

See Port 21h for how to distinguish the 84+ Basic from the 84+ SE.
