Morning,
At work we have some test equipment that records results to a pc via RS232
Due to health and safety reasons and the distance to the laptop / pc we will have to use wireless
Has anybody done this before ?
have been looking at these

Hi Steve
I've got the matrix e-blocks for zigbee.
Done a few basic flowcharts with them, fairly easy to use with flowcode.

Hello,
I have successfully made a wireless serial bridge using the Microchip ICs used in the EB063 RF E-block boards and circular buffers at each end though it was a bit fiddly to get working nicely and reliably. Zigbee or Bluetooth are other good options if you want something a bit easier.

You could have a look into the XRF by ciseco. I have used these many times and they are excellent.
All you do is send transparent data via usart and another Module can pick up the data and pass it to a computer terminal.

cheers guy will have a look at those
I was hoping that with that module plugged into a RS232 development board it might be relativity easy
the reason for this is we have a ac flash tester set that the start / stop, voltage , leakage is all over RS232
But because of the test location we will be using the test set in the use of the cable to pc is not permitted
