Speed of Switching between Wifi and Bluetooth

Hi,

I am considering using this chip for some of our applications. I was curious about switching between WiFi and Bluetooth. How fast does the switch occur? How often can we switch between the two modes reliably?

Thanks

You can actually use WiFi and BT at the same time; ESP-IDF and the hardware will handle multiplexing between the two for you in such a way that for most intents and purposes it looks like you have both active at the same time.

I’m just trying that now.
I’ve completed the secure BLE side and now adding a simple tcp/ip connection to a non-secure server. But I will try the Arduino IDE first before ESP-IDF since that will appeal to more hobbyist-type people. Which is the audience.
If the ESP32 can pull this off, It will be amazing! :D
