TI-Innovator™ Hub Overview

The TI-Innovator™ Hub lets you use your compatible TI graphing calculator or
TI-Nspire™ CX computer software to control components, read sensors, and create
powerful learning experiences.

You communicate with the Hub through TI Basic programming commands.

Hosts that are compatible with TI-Innovator™ Hub include:

-

TI CE Family of Graphing Calculators (TI-83 Premium CE, TI-84 Plus CE, and
TI-84 Plus CE-T) with operating system version 5.3 or later installed. You also
need to install or update the Hub App, which contains the Hub menu.

-

TI Nspire™ CX or TI Nspire™ CX CAS handheld with operating system version 4.5
or later installed

-

TI Nspire™ computer software version 4.5 or later

TI-Innovator™ Hub.

Communicates with the host, the Hub on-board components,

and connected external components. It also distributes power to external
components.

TI-Innovator™ Components

. These components, sold separately, include sensors,

motors, and LEDs that connect to the Hub through its I/O ports and breadboard
connector.
