Download programs wirelessly?

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a Bluetooth connection, such as the EmbeddedBlue Transceiver AppMod, or any other type of wireless connection, to actually download and execute program code on a BS2?· I am trying to be able to change the program on a BS2 without having to connect a serial or USB cable.· Thanks!

    The only wireless connection that can do downloading is the "Toothpick" from FlexiPanel (www.flexipanel.com). Parallax used to carry a special Stamp-compatible version, but has dropped it due to low sales volume.

    Other wireless links don't work because of timing issues with the download process.

    But the Toothpick is a PIC controller. I guess that means I can't get anything for my BS2?

    I think FlexiPanel still has the Stamp-compatible version of the firmware available. I believe it's all the same hardware. Check with FlexiPanel.
