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.

1 in 10 people understand binary, the other one doesn't !

Re: Wireless RS232
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.

Re: Wireless RS232
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.

Re: Wireless RS232
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

Success always occurs in private and failure in full view.
