K8055 - Keyboard mapping?

Hello all, first I would like to apologize in advance if I bring up something obvious or something that has been asked before.

So, this is what I would want to do: I have a final-year project going on in college, and my goal is to be able to control a RC-car with a Wiimote. I’ve got this far:

I have the Wiimote connected to the computer via Bluetooth, I have keys assigned for it (Key 1, 4, 6, 8, those also represents the Digital Outputs that need to be turned on/off), and now I need to set keyboard mapping for the digital outputs on the Velleman board, I’ve been looking at many various sites for help, and I think I have what’s needed already, but I don’t actually know what to do or where to begin. I’m quite lost at this subject, haven’t been working with those sort of things before much at all, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Could you please explain more precisely your project target.
For example what means: “keyboard mapping for the digital outputs on the Velleman board”?

Okay, I’ll try:

What I want to do, is to create a program, which would turn on/off the digital outputs on the board, for example if I press the key 1, digital output port 1 should be turned on/off.

Like here, I’ve tried out this program, but the demo version limits it to the use of DO 1+2 only:

You’ll notice that the channels has hotkeys bound to them, Channel 1 has F1, Channel 2 has F2 and so on. This is what I want to achieve. I hope I made it clear enough now

Thanks again.

OK - Now it is more clear. You like to use keyboard to turn the K8055 outputs on/off - right.
In the K8055 demo software there is mouse used to click the check boxes to turn outputs on or off.
I think it would be easy to modify the code for keyboard entry…
BTW: What programming language are you using?

I’m using C#, haven’t really been taught any other language except that and PHP yet.

Example code in VB.NET (similar to C#) is available from
velleman.be/downloads/files/ … 2007v1.zip

Experiment with keyboard events on a form or text box, Google has enough information for you to get started.
