astream.write is for communications with f.e. a mobile or a b4j program (usually used in WiFi or BlueTooth enabled boards) but log is for sending information in the B4R IDE logs or the connected external logger (Erel's implementation) through the USB and it is intented for all boards even if they are not WiFi and BT enabled.

Why would you want to attach a remotely accessible board to a computer? I would prefer the astream but it depends on what you want to do.

Sorry you missunderstood me. I meant that it is Wireless both as BlueTooth or WiFi and since it is this way If I were you I would prefer not to attach it to my computer but have it where it is needed.
