Aquacontroller jr wireless adapter

[jaynel78]

hello, has anyone used the serial port adapter to make the aquacontroller jr wireless...also is it possible to use a wireless adapter that is serial port on one end and usb/ bluetooth...im trying to figure out how to gain wireless capability on a budget...thanks...any info/input is appreciated

The IOGear GBS301 serial/bluetooth adapter works for that. You will also need Bluetooth in your computer. The GBS301 connects to the Neptune serial cable which in turns connects to the ACjr

You might want to check out a free software package called ACserial2Web. Google it.

That's about as low as they are available IME.

in theory, will this work for my computer which doesn't even have a serial port on it?

anyone know where to get the round ended serial cable or do you have to cut the end off of a serial cable and make your own?

I was researching this project a while ago, came across a post of someone who actually did it. This is the link he sent me for the cable. Hope it helps.
