Bluetooth Programming

I have the EB500 (parallax bluetooth module) and plan on connecting it to the Propeller and hope to achieve wireless communication/programming with the propeller. After looking at the schematic for the demo board I noticed that the Propellers Reset line is tied to the DTR line of the FT232. The EB500 does not have a DTR line but does have an RTS/CTS line. So with that stated I would like to program the propeller across the bluetooth link but am unsure when the Reset line needs to be tripped. Does anyone know when the Reset line needs to become active and can I manually trip it (via a switch) to program the propeller wirelessly?

Thanks

Scott

    This may not be possible.

    Thereason is that the EB500 'speaks' RS232, but the IDE doesn't use RS232 when programming the Propeller.
    There are other BT modules out there, though, which do transmit the complete state of the pins, and which may be able to do what you want. (There has been some talk about this in the BS2 forum some time ago.)
