First off, you guys Rock! I have had so much productive fun with BP and I just got it a few days ago. Here is a little thing I did to make a project weigh less.
When you are prototyping GPS M2M you don’t always want to carry your laptop outside to get a signal. My boss discovered me pushing a cart loaded with my laptop/protoboard/GPS and BP rolling around the parking lot yesterday.
Looking around my cubical I realized that I had an OTG cable lying around. I grabbed my smart phone and after a quick download I was able to loose the cart and laptop completely.
Thanks M2M! Via the forum.
