iLiad Is possible communication between iLiad and PC?

tororebelde · 03-28-2007, 02:53 AM

Hi all !!

My first post on the forum, and I'm pleased to be with so great developers I've been reading here.

I'm really newbie to iLiad development, although wanna change this

One question that arises on my mind is if would be possible to connect iLiad to a PC through wifi? What I want is to stand near a PC which will have some software that can connect to iLiad and update its book contents with new stuff. To be more precise: I have 3 books on my iLiad and then connect to that pc, then, like some kind of home-made iDS, the PC recognices my iLiad and put on 4 new books. Now the iLiad has 7 books.

Maybe sounds strange, new or impossible but is an idea I'm wondering how to develop and want to know if somebody here has tried to do something similar. Is it possible or I'm just making castles in the air?

TIA!
Javier

With the 2.9 software, this is already supported out-of-the-box.
Background connect to PC via Windows File Sharing. See the iLiad manual.

Wow, how simple. I feel stumbled now. Just updated recently to 2.9 and didn't realized me that was possible.

Thanks Matthijs!
