Abstract
Technologies are disclosed for providing a virtual control panel for a controlled device using a controller connected to the controlled device via a near-field communications (NFC) connection. The controlled device may include a transfer memory that is connected to a wireless (NFC) port and a wired port, the wired port being coupled to other internal memory of the controlled device. The controlled device may write parameter data to the transfer memory via the wired port, which is later transmitted to the controller via the NFC connection for presentation via a user interface. The controller may receive (e.g., while the controller is connected or disconnected from the controlled device) adjustments to configurable parameters of the parameter data and transmit the adjustments to the transfer memory via the wireless port for updating the internal memory of the controlled device and thereby adjusting operation of the controlled device.
