How to download data from emlid RS2+

I figured out to bluetooth to download data from the RS to a laptop. How do I access the internal head memory by connecting directly to a desktop pc?

Hi @kenforestry,

Welcome to our forum!

It’s not possible to access the internal memory of the device by connecting to a PC. To download data from Reach, you need to use ReachView 3 app. You can check more in our guide here.

Ease of use One of the best features of the new BLE connection is that it’s dead simple to use. No client/hotspot modes, no pairing is required. You don’t need to remember what mode your Reach is in, just scan and…

Dave is right. I thought from your first post that you connect to your device via Bluetooth (BLE).

Also, I forgot to mention that you can download logs from the Reach on PC via Reach Panel. For this, just enter Reach’s IP in the address bar of any browser and download files you need.
