Boe-Bot Bluetooth eb500 remote control using keyboard

Created a program to remotely control the Boe-bot using eb500 USB and the letters of the "numeric keypad" on the laptop keyboard. 8 is forward, k (2) is reverse, u (4) is left face, o (6) is right face, 7 & 9 are tack left & right, j (1) & l (3) are left and right reverse. i (5) is halt. It could easily be changed to use the real number keys of a numeric keypad. Once the program is loaded via USB, the USB can be detached and the robot controlled wirelessly from the keyboard. The bluetooth connection has to be established and Hyperterminal has to be opened. Commands are entered into Hyperterminal. I have an .avi of it running around the desk, but it's too large and doesn't zip any smaller.
