Hey I had a project I was thinking about and I wanted to find out if you can flash/program a pic wirlessly using bluetooth, or rf idk. I'm just thinking if theres a way to do it.

Hi,

A serial bootloader will do the trick as long as you have a stable connection. Just make sure you have serie data in and from the pic and almost any standard boot loader would do the trick regardless if you have a cable or a RF connection.

It's very do-able, but unless you can modifiy most boot-loader firmware & sometimes the PC
side software, you'll need a set of RF modules with true bi-directional capabilites, and a way
to reset the target so it can jump/vector to the boot-loader routine on reset.

I did this for a client several years back, and it's still ticking.
