The rocket can take a few seconds to type out. While the MSP430 is typing this out, be sure not to change

the PC's window focus outside of Notepad. If you change the focus, keystrokes will be sent to whatever

application has focus, and strange things might happen on your PC!

Step 5: Customize the strings

Because the strings typed out by the S1 and S2 buttons originate from the Button1.txt and Button2.txt

files, respectively, you can change these strings. Open these files in a text editor, modify their contents,

and save the files. Then press the corresponding button; your new string is typed out.

Note that there is a 2048-character limit on each string, a limit set within the software. The limit is

necessary because the software reads the files' strings into a RAM buffer before typing, and the size of

this RAM buffer is 2048 bytes.
