      Hey guys,

      I recently learned that ESP32 has Tensilica dual-core processor. So I'm just wondering whether I can run Bluetooth on one core and WiFi on other core. Is this possible?

        Hi @kowshik1729, That was an interesting question. it can be done, but since the wifi and Bluetooth shares one radio and only one antenna, switching back and forth between wifi and Bluetooth same time while receiving packets will be difficult and cause some packet loss, but it can be done.

        But instead of doing that, you can schedule two task's and switch between the task will only occupy wifi or Bluetooth. (Just a suggestion)

        There is a special option called “Software controls WiFi/ Bluetooth coexistence” it can control the ESP32's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi coexistence using software, more details: https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/ESP32_FAQs__EN.pdf

          @salmanfaris Thanks for the detailed explanation. I would like to add that, while the ESP32 switches from BLE to Wi-Fi so fast, the power consumed will also be very high, and also there is a high risk of having losing data. Hence one has to use an RF High-speed switch like this https://www.digikey.in/short/zf3dzc and have two antennas to switch between the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This is the best solution I've got, let me know if you find any.

            @kowshik1729 If you are using an external high-speed switch, there is only one one clock generator for both wifi and BLE and the high-speed switch you mentioned is Ultra-Wideband (UWB) 3–8 GHz from its datasheet

            you also check this solution that I shared in the previous post.

            @salmanfaris said in BT and WiFi Dual Core simultaneous operation using ESP32?:

            • @mahesh02 From the current Arduino ESP32 board files, we don't need to install the ESP-NN separately.

              But try to choose the esp32 board version 3.1.3 and check, as I also faced issues with the latest esp32 board file.

              Im having the same error as below, it will be really awesome if you can help me.

            • This also happened to me when I was given a task from my company, So what I can recommend is:
              Ensure that the correct board, "AI Thinker ESP32-CAM," is selected in the Tools menu of your Arduino IDE.
              If the board is not listed, you may need to install it through the Board Manager. Search for "ESP32" and install the latest version.
              Ensure that necessary libraries like ESP32-CAM, WiFi, and HTTPClient are installed. You can install them through the Library Manager.

              Carefully check your code for typos, missing semicolons, or incorrect syntax.
              Verify that you're using the correct function names and parameters.

            • Hi @PumpedMedusa, The rage is depends on the Antenna and how much TX power you have.

              To choose antenna, first you need figure out - where your nodes will be, take a look at the below image. The antenna act like a "torch" if you have more dbi that mean it's focus will be increase and it can reach more distance but the angle it have it less, like a laser.

              458a3da2-175a-4968-917c-56c5a1b763f8-image.png

              also, obstacle such as buildings, tress and mountains will affect the signal and deplete it.

              afe5eba4-b192-4263-8596-80c912fc1f23-image.png

              So, answer for you question - What is the best LoRa module to use for long distance network? - It's really depends on where you planning to put the nodes and how high you putting the gateway. Let me know know your thoughts.
