I have a few boards that you can purchase in advance before they become available in the webstore.

It is connected directly to the head unit and the wifi attachment is daisy chained to it.
Data traffic is routed to wifi or Bluetooth on-demad as needed.
They are going for $89.
PM me if you are interested in grabbing one of them.
This is installation instruction until I put together the manual.
Note: You will need your own Bluetooth adapter properly installed in your computer.
Connecting the Bluetooth attachment
1. The Bluetooth attachment comes with the communication cable. Please connect the 8-pin connector to your Reef Angel head unit and the 6-pin connector to your Bluetooth attachment. Pin 1 is the black wire.
2. If you also have the wifi attachment, you can connect the 8-pin connector from the wifi attachment to your Bluetooth attachment. Pin 1 is the black wire.
3. Please confirm that you can access your Reef Angel system through wifi.
Adding the Bluetooth attachment to your computer
1. Please follow the instruction on how to add a Bluetooth device to your computer:
Windows 8 - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... s-printers
Windows 7 - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... r-computer
Windows Vista - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... led-device
MacOSX Mountain Lion - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10545
MacOSX Lion - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3651
2. If you are asked for a pairing code, please enter 1234
3. Your computer will have 2 new serial ports. One for incoming connections and another for outgoing connections.
We are only interested on the serial port for outgoing connections.

Setting up your Arduino IDE - Windows only
1. The current release of Arduino IDE for Windows has a flaw in the rxtxSerial.dll file, which causes the Arduino IDE to slow down when Bluetooth devices are connected to your computer.
More info: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,46977.0.html
2. We need to replace the rxtxSerial.dll file located at "\Program Files (x86)\Reef Angel Controller" with the one attached.
Uploading your code wireless
1. Open Arduino IDE
2. Select the outgoing serial port you identified above on menu Tools->Serial Port
3. Click Upload
4. You will see that when your computer establishes a connection, the green LED on the Bluetooth attachment will stop blinking, the controller will reboot and the red status LED on the head unit will start blinking, indicating you are uploading your code wireless.
