Yes. That is precisely how my student did her voice-operated MarkIII.
She just used a laptop to generate the control codes and a bluetooth
transceiver to send the data to the serial port on the ooPIC.

That way will work just fine.

BTW, I suspect my kids would be interested in collaborating with
students in other schools. Our school is pretty small. I have only 20
students in the 5th-8th grades. So if you want to bounce ideas off of
my kids I am sure they would be interested.

BTW, the Internet makes collaboration pretty easy. We could even move
telemetry across the Internet and distribute the processing that way.

(My students are also getting their ham radio licenses so they can do
more with wireless control and telemetry.)
