L01 or LoPy WiFi BLE shared antenna usage

[queifaro]

Hi All,
L01 and LoPy use the same (just one) antenna for WiFi and BLE.

Can i send/receive data over WiFi and over BLE at the same time avoidng issue ?
As an example: wath appen if one thread send N bytes over BLE and another async thread send 50 bytes over WiFi ?

Thanks in advance

@queifaro Both WIFI and BLE work in the same frequency range, and, if not sysnchonized, will interfere. But for sending, that's the task of the driver stack. I do not know if concurrent receives are handled properly. But again, that is the job of the transport parft of the protocol stack.

Hi,
so this mean that wifi and ble share the same fw driver ? or ble and wifi drv are in sync to avoid collision ?
Also apart of this my dubt is on RF interference, i'm not an RF expert so i hope that BLE and wifi cannot overlap on RF channel.

Someone perform test ?

Best

@queifaro It is already the ESP32 chip having just one pin for RF input and output. And you can expect, that any collisions between WiFi & BLE transmission/receptions are avoided at the driver level.
