Hey everyone,

 

I'm looking for a device to allow me to not walk between my computer and my plasma cutter with a USB stick. 

 

Basically what i need is something similar to this: https://www.sandisk.com.au/home/mobile-device-storage/connect-wireless-stick

 

BUT i want it to be able to connect to my current WIFI network and remain plugged in on my plasma cutter. (the plasma cutter isn't PC based or anything, so adding WIFI to it isn't an option) basically what i need is a little wireless NAS that acts as a USB drive at one "end" of it.

 

Is there anything out there? or any other option?

 

Cheers,

Trav

As this blog describes you could use a Toshiba FlashAir SD card and write data to it using your computer. You might need to use WiFi Direct for this.
The blog says you could even map it as a network drive if you get a certain model.

This will probably work with your plasma cutter if you get an SD to USB adapter, but it is always a risk that something is not compatible...
