The TI-Innovator™ Hub is compatible with the following TI products. For best results always use the latest version of the TI-Innovator sketch and compatible products.

The TI-Innovator™ Hub can be programmed through the programming language TI BASIC on both the TI CE graphing calculators and TI-Nspire™ CX calculators. This programming language is used in several TI CE graphing calculators and is based on the BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) programming language. BASIC is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use.

In addition, with TI-Nspire™ CX technology you can use LUA programming which is a powerful, fast scripting language.

The TI-Innovator™ Hub has two types of connectors:

To easily get started, we have convenient kits that contain all the components you need to complete the activities. See the sections related to the I/O Module and Breadboard for details.

Yes, the TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle can be used concurrently with the TI-Innovator™ Hub on TI-Nspire™ CX Handheld or TI-Nspire™ CX software. To use both the TI-Innovator™ Hub and TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle at the same time, they must be accessed via a LUA script.

The TI-Innovator™ Hub ports are not directly compatible with the Vernier™ sensors. The Vernier™ sensors can be connected to a TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle. To use both the TI-Innovator™ Hub and TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle at the same time, they must be accessed via a LUA script.

Yes, students can have their TI-Nspire™ CX handheld connected to the TI-Nspire™ CX Navigator™ system while using the TI-Innovator™ Hub. The teacher can use TI-Nspire™ CX Navigator™ functionality, including Live Presenter, Screen Capture, Quick Poll, etc. while students are using the TI-Innovator™ Hub.

The TI-Innovator™ Hub cannot communicate directly with the TI Connect™ CE software or TI-SmartView™ CE software. However, you can use TI Connect™ CE software to write programs for use with the TI-Innovator™ Hub. TI-SmartView™ CE software is a great way to demo the programming steps to your students.
