RPI PICO W Bluetooth help

Post by biologicalname » Sat Jul 30, 2022 8:07 pm

Hi,

Im new to micropython and microcontroller boards. I just recently got the pico w and my goal is to connect it to an app via bluetooth. I want to send pico_temp data to the app and be able to control the onboard LED from the app. I am currently puzzled on how to get the onboard bluetooth to work. If someone could guide me on how to make the bluetooth discoverable and set a custom device name for the pico w that would be amazing.

Thank you

There's no driver for the onboard Bluetooth yet. It's coming, but isn't here yet.
