Wireless serial download cable

[Gramps]

I see some old posts from 2010 on wirelessly connecting a computer and a pickaxe. Anything new in the pipe that's easy to work with?

Simple answer; "no", not for program download.

What is the main difficulty?

The main issue is that the 8-bit byte data stream plus 'break signalling' used during download initialisation is easily supported over hard-wired serial cable but not so easily supported over wireless.

That and other issues are covered in this recent thread -
