Re: Wireless Programming
Yes, please tell!

We used a Bluetooth-to-RS232 device this year, connected to the Programming Port - for sending telemetry data back to the PC. BUT EasyC would not recognize the Windows Bluetooth port and so we had to keep switching the cable back and forth between the Programming Cable and the Bluetooth device.

We did power the Bluetooth RS232 device using 5 volts from the Robot Controller - it worked fine (very fast, sending the data).
