The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Very cool and thanks for the advice on the boards.
I'm just getting started and my first need is a device that supports BLE (i know many people hate Bluetooth, but every phone has it and this is an app that will be used by phones).

By the way, is there a good way to decide if a ESP32 supports BLE?
Or is that basically built-in/ always present like the wifi connection?

I know there are too many h/w companies to say for sure but is it basically an expectation of the platform? Just curious, I know BLE is not something you're interested in.
thanks
