HP-71B & PILBox & Remote Terminal

[Nick Taylor]

Hello, sorry to ask about this topic again, but after Erwin's reply:

I used MINICONDA to install the python programm – download via their website http://conda.pydata.org/docs/inst all/quick.html. The python installation is straight forward and easy.
Download pyILPER https://github.com/bug400/pyILPER and go through the instal- lation instructions on https://github.com/bug400/pyilper/blob/master/INSTALL. md.
Don’t forget to run the update sequence in the terminal window: conda update --all

For comfortable editing in the terminal window of pyILPER on the PC instead fiddling around on the small keyboard of the calculator you can use the prog: PILTERM2 (PILTERM) and KEYBOARD (Lex-File).

I was able to get the remote terminal working with PyIlPer and PIL-Box.

I came back to this again today, and cannot get what I type in the terminal to appear on the HP-71B. What I type on the HP-71B is appearing in the terminal though.

I have the KEYBOARD command, courtesy of the Forth ROM.

I thought I only had to type KEYBOARD IS :1 on the HP-71B and it would work? Device 1 is the PILTERM according to PyIlPer.

Am I missing some vital commands here?

Thanks

Nick
