Hi,
I wonder if there are are people out there who use WiFi and BLE at the same time without major issues?
---
Whenever I use BLE for capturing data from a few BLE temperature sensors the WiFi stops working after a couple of days.
I use WiFi to query multiple devices every 15 minutes. Not very heavy load - just a hundreds of bytes per device per single query.
---
When I stop my script (the one collecting BLE data) everything is fine. WiFi works for months without issues.
---
I periodically do ping (a cron task) and whenever WiFi fails I simply blink a LED to indicate the problem.
I cannot resume the WiFi manually - the only way I can make it work is to reboot the RPI
---
Reading the Internet post it looks like I am not alone.
What I considered if this problem is well-known and not solvable issue:
1. I use Bookworm OS now and wonder if Trixie can change anything here.
2. I considered adding dedicated BLE dongle if shared hardware between WiFi & BLE is a root cause of this issue but I have not tested it yet.
3. I believe the power supply is powerful enough (I do not use any external devices connected to the board).
But the most important question is: can RPi ZERO 2 W use both WiFi & BLE without any issues with low / moderate load?
Thank you for any insights,
