Is it possible to use ble and Bluetooth at the same time?
Seems there is something hidden down in ESP-IDF or @nkolban BLE implementation that doesn’t allow both BLE and Bluetooth to advertise there services together, even if the Bluetooth is initializes with errRc = esp_bt_controller_enable (ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM);. Giving up for now. Ok, I didn’t give up.

Can a Arduino read data from a Bluetooth monitor?
This will demonstrate that the Arduino board can remotely gather sensor data and tranfer it to the PC using bluetooth communication without being connected to it by a USB cable. However, we are not done yet. To see the sensor data on the serial monitor, we need to first find out on which COM port your bluetooth module is connected.
