I've been looking into inexpensive solutions for wireless programming and came across the SMiRF at SparkFun Electronics (near the bottom of the "Wireless Communication" page). The SMiRF can't currently work at 115.2K, but Nathan Seidle is considering a version that can. He'd love to gauge the interest in such a product, so feel free to e-mail him at spark@sparkfun.com.

While on the topic of the SMiRF, I've got a set of SMiRFs sending out debugging info at 38.4K using the robot controller's TTL serial port. I can also send data to the robot using this arrangement. I could share the code if there is interest <grin>. If I get time tonight, I'll start a new thread on this subject.

Disclaimer: Other than being a satisfied customer, I have no interest (financially, or otherwise) in SparkFun Electronics.
