Hi.

Is it possible to add a bluetooth dongle to the ramps board in order to monitor the status of the printer?
has anyone done this ?

What I want to do is the following.
Have a standalone printer (no pc connection) that uses an sd card to print the part. So far so good as this has been done and works great.
While printing it would be nice to have information such as temperatures, time left,,,e.t.c transmitted over a bluetooth connection that can be received on a tablet.

any ideas as to how this can be done ?

see [reprap.org] for an overview

its basiclay replaces the serial over usb cable... can print over it (not advised) or just montor with standard tools like pronterface

So I simply make the connection to Aux1 and I can read all the information ?
Is there a known protocol that I can use to read the information or is it a dump of all the info and I have to sort it out?
I want to use this to see info on a remote android tablet.
