Sending code to arduino remotely?

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Hi all,

I was just wondering, if there's a way to send or change the code to Arduino chip remotely by wifi or bluetooth for example, without the need to plug it to a usb?

is that possible?

thanks,

With a name like "The Programmer" you might expect this to be known already...

But what kind of arduino "chip"?
The only ways I know is uploading a Yun with wifi. There is an Ethernet Bootloader available, but it's not as easy as clicking on the upload button from the IDE.

EDIT: Oh guess what... Searching in google for "Arduino upload bluetooth sketch" this is the first hit:

sorry but I just got into this field :slight_smile:

I will work on Arduino UNO anyway,

and thanks for the link, I'm not sure where to get that extra part, but I think it should do what I'm asking for (I hope),

I'm thinking of a robot that can be re-programmed remotely, if that works, it will be a part of my big project,

Thanks,

For example

I have used an HC-05 module like this to remote program a Pro Mini. I can only assume setting the HC-05 up with the correct baud rate to suit the UNO and including a 0.1uF capacitor to the reset pin would work equally as well.

Thanks Riva, I could work on the mini as a start,

EDIT: do I need to buy any other parts?

For programming the pro mini I just needed a resistor on a little adaptor board I made up.

I am just wondering what would happen if the wireless connection is interrupted during upload...

Then the upload would fail.
