Hi, just wondering if anyone has thought of using something like an xbee module to print wirelessly. Where my reprap is it is inconvenient even to place my laptop nearby. My thoughts were an xbee module, or possibly even using my ipod touch as a remote rs232 link. I probably won't get a chance to try either for a week or so, just wondering if anyone had ideas/comments? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,18329,18329#msg-18329 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 02:33:29 -0500 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,18329,106881#msg-106881 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,18329,106881#msg-106881 boast share my success in getting my Prusa Mendel to print wirelessly using two XBee modules - full details on my blog: [julianh72.blogspot.com]]]> julianh72 Controllers Sat, 19 Nov 2011 09:02:48 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,18329,18410#msg-18410 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,18329,18410#msg-18410
I am using Bluetooth on an instrumentation project passing quite high data rates.
The instrument reads 4 sensors then transmits the data over Bluetooth to PC or PDA. I can view the data in real time on both PC and PDA plus do basic set-ups.

When the Reprap gets kicked out into the garage I will be able to monitor it in the same way.
It will not need to pass G_Code(that's on the SD_Card) only stop and go plus progress indicator and possibly X,Y,Z.

Okay they are made for connecting an usb or parallel standard printer via wifi network, but maybe it can handle the gcodes (uhm or the snap protocoll) too ?
