Is there a remote programmer interface ?

Is there a remote programmer interface available. Seen that arduino can be programmed using an XBee interface just thought that someone might have implemented something alike for emonTX and other modules. Its getting clumsy to always remove the interface for reprogramming to add some logic into it. The whole idea of no physical wiring is needed is really good and hope that the programming can be also one part of it. The couple of emonTX boards I have are only 15m away but still...

Try usng Lady Ada's Wireless Xbee tutorial. This has worked for me with several projects, including my EmonTX setup.

http://www.ladyada.net/make/xbee/arduino.html

I use this method to upload new sketchs from the Arduino IDE.

See my blog post here

I would suggest using the 60Mw Xbee's on both ends, and suggest getting a high DB gain antenna for the base xbee.

cheers,

Sixty mega watts? Expect a knock on the door from the man from Ofcom ;)

Sorry, Clumsy fingers - 60mW Xbee Series 1

I'm in the states - FCC is my big brother

There is a RFM12B bootloader work in progress, that would be a neater solution:
