What You Need

Only a TI-84 Evo Calculator (TI-84EVO) running OS version 7.1 (or newer) supports sensor data collection with Vernier Go Direct sensors. The data collection app, EasyData, is installed as part of a TI-84 Evo update.

Operating system updates are done using TI-Connect Evo, a free web app accessed using a Chrome browser.

The TI-84 Evo Online Calculator app does not support sensor data collection.

Fully charge sensors before collecting data for best results.

Any Go Direct Sensor

Use a USB-A to USB-C adapter along with the sensor’s charging cable (included with the sensor) to connect the Go Direct sensor to the TI-84 Evo.

  • Adapters are not sold by Vernier or TI. (We tested with an adapter from ANKER.)
  • This adapter and cable combination will allow the calculator battery to charge the sensor.
