I just read some good news over at cnx-software.com - Raspberry Pi Pico W gets Bluetooth support in SDK 1.5.0.
I've been waiting for the hardware to be supported.
Quoted from the article:
"
Bluetooth support is still considered Beta and the SDK 1.5.0 implements the following key features and updates:
- New libraries for
- Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) support.
- Bluetooth Classic support.
- Bluetooth Sub Band Coding (SBC) encoder support.
- Bluetooth Sub Band Coding (SBC) decoder support.
- Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol (BNEP) support using LwIP.
- Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol (BNEP) support using LwIP with FreeRTOS for NO_SYS=0.
- Updated pico_cyw43_driver and cyw43_driver to support HCI communication for Bluetooth.
- Updated cyw43_driver_picow to support Pico W-specific HCI communication for Bluetooth over SPI.
- Updated cyw43_arch_init() and cyw43_arch_deinit() to additionally handle Bluetooth support if CYW43_ENABLE_BLUETOOTH is 1
Raspberry Pi Trading also release a range of Bluetooth code samples for Bluetooth audio, HID (keyboard/mouse), GATT client/server, Bluetooth LE, and more.
"
Good news is that they have added Bluetooth examples for the Pico W at the github link above.
Another thing to put on my list to try out...
