      Hello Folks,
      I am planning to get Wipy 3.0.
      Does this board allow concurrent wifi and bluetooth operation ?
      if not, how fast i can switch between them ?
      Thanks

        Hi,
        As the board only has a shared WiFi / BT antenna / radio, it is not possible to use them concurrently.
        I must admit I have never tried it before, so I quickly drafted this up:

        from network import WLAN
        from network import Bluetooth
        import time
        
        wlan = WLAN()
        
        wlan.init(mode=WLAN.AP, ssid="hello world", auth=None)
        print(wlan.ifconfig(id=1))
        time.sleep(10)
        print('scanning bt')
        bt = Bluetooth()
        bt.start_scan(10)
        time.sleep(10)
        print('scandone')
        print(bt.get_adv())
        

        And connected my computer to the AP. It did temporarily lose connection, but was quickly recovered after the 10 seconds of BT scanning. I am not exactly sure of the speed you need, but if I must guess it takes as long as establishing a normal WiFi connection?
