bluetooth serial port

[plastibob]

Hi,

I would like to use a bluetooth serial (RS232) port for my 2000 Mini Mill. Is there a way that I could send multiple files to the machine using the bluetooth serial port? Is there also away to send the files without having to be at the controller and set it up to receive files? Thanks for any input.

I have heard of some pc software that enables you to request a program from the pc whilst stood at the machine control. However I do not think you can do it soley from the pc.
To send multiple programs at once, all you need to do iscopy and paste them together :
e.g
say you have two programs o0001 and o0002

When you open o0001 (in notepad maybe) you will see that they start and end with a %.
Highlight all of the programming but ommit the % signs, now copy.
now open o0002
paste the program just before the last character in program o0002 (which will be the % sign)
Now you should have one big program with a % at the beginning and one at the end. When you load this into the machine it automatically splits the programs up to their assigned program numbers which is at the beginning of each program.
Hope that makes sense.

I don't think it's possible to send/receive files w/o being in front of the machine.
