The Retro Files

VB 2010 software which drives a Velleman VM167 mini USB interface board. The software drives the 8 digital output ports - the ports representing each of the FIGnition keys. The software has 3 options:

1. Simulate the FIGnition keyboard by using a mouse to click on the 8 buttons (ports).

2. Type using the PC keyboard and the characters are translated into the appropriate presses of the 8 buttons (ports).  I used the F1 and F2 keys to represent cmd and mrk.

3. Read a text file (containing Forth statements) which generates the appropriate key presses on the 8 buttons (ports).

By default there is a debug flag set so you can run the software without having the USB interface board plugged in.
