This is my attempt at re-imagining the development process for the HP Prime. the goal is an easy web-based Connectivity kit and development IDE for both python and PPL programs. Later on optimization for mobile and a program sharing feature would be nice.
Very alpha, right now you can connect to your prime and read the contents. note: this 'only' works for HP Prime G2 for now. G1 users, sorry, if i get more traction i might add support later on. although Connectivity kit 2022 is in the works, so let's see what the HP has in store for us.
demo version online at: https://primedev.polyform.wiki/
note: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK; I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKING OF DEVICES! IT SHOULD BE FINE, BUT ESPECIALLY WITH THE G1, ALL BETS ARE OFF

23/02/2022 - Fixed up Backup procedure and added all required data types with help from @Cyrille-de-Brebisson, slimmed down protocol code (again) removed connection success message
- The communication library (PrimeWeb) is basically a copy of PrimeComm and it's my intention to adapt and extend this library to work with modern hardware and firmware
- The actual communication to the WebHID API is using a wonderfully written library called Blazm.HID
for now just open and run, nothing too much interesting until i get the protocol working...
