Hello,

I have a Boe-Bot (Board of education USB - Rev.C).
Is it possible to make a wireless connection with a PC putting a USB Bluetooth adaptor in the USB port on the board ?

Thanks in advance.

    How do you plan on going about doing that? The BOE has a USB mini-b connection... Anyway, I don't think that will work. Parallax sells a Bluetooth module that is designed for interfacing to a uC.

    Thanks for the given answers.

    I have understood that a Bluetooth connection should be done with an EmbeddedBlue Transceiver AppMod.
    But does il allow to download a programm from the BasicStamp editor to the BS2 ?
    If yes, how to do it ?

    You can't download programs via a wireless link. The timing just doesn't work. Parallax used to sell something called a ToothPick (www.flexipanel.com) which acted as a Bluetooth interface much like the EmbeddedBlue AppMod. It did allow for downloading by buffering the program in its own memory, then downloaded the buffered program to the Stamp. They may or may not still have the "Stamp Edition" firmware available.
