Wireless programming using the LinkMatik SE....

deno

Hello, I have gone over to the Flexipanel web site and did a little reading· about the above.

In reading somewhere, and I cannot find it again, I see that I will need a device that plugs into the USB port that will communicate with the LinkMatik SE.· What/where is this device available? (I assume it is some sort of Blue Tooth device.)·

Also in reading, and again I can't find the page again (it was a late reading night) ...it said that the USB port transceiver device that is used to communicate with the LinkMatik SE will not work with Windows XP because of something called a "Pass Key".· Is this true?

Thank you for your reading time and your time to answer..

I would love to understand this thing better as well. I have probably looked at the LinkMatik site 50 times, and still don't fully "get it". I am surprised that it was developed with Parallax, yet Parallax is not selling or supporting it.

Parallax did say that they were aware of the market interest for wireless programming and debug, but did not give any indication as to when a product might be available.

That product (it is indeed Bluetooth) was developed independent of us; our PC->Stamp interface is published and anybody could develop a connection product. That said, we do have a relationship with this company and have recently received samples for analysis. No decision has been made at this time.

Thank you Jon, and I know if and when Parallax comes out with a wireless programming device you will let us know thru Nuts and Volts. Until then....I'll do it the old fashion way.
