Hi all, I have a program running RPC over a bluetooth link. Which is fantastic. But the problem with RPC is that you can't use the serial connection that you have it open on as a normal serial connection. You can only RPC over it , and get returns back from the RPC method. even if you pass back a char*. That is going to get messy if sending back something big. and I want to send a file across my serial connection. (I have Java listener I've written on the PC, that will see it, and dump it down to disk) I have it all working. (I have the concepts for both ends working) But, there's one bit I can't solve. I want to do this... <<code>> void sendFile() { // DOES NOT WORK. //grab the serial port off the RPC for a mo. Serial device(p13, p14); // tx, rx device.baud(115200); device.printf("hello world! (PC) "); //give it back SerialRPCInterface Interface(p13, p14,115200); //bluetooth interface } <</code>> If I just use the serial device at the beginning of the program, and comment out the RPC, it works. If I just use the RPC as RPC. It works. but I cannot swap my serial port from an RPC interface to a normal interface dynamically like this it seems. I want to use the 1 port, as it is running over bluetooth back to my PC. One thing to mention is that this method is run from an RPC call. I want to be able to request a file via RPC and it "squirt it" at the PC via the serial port. anyway.. Any ideas ? If we can sort this, I'll publish my solution to both ends of the problem. (Including a Java request Gui) cheers, Dave.
