BLE on Nano ESP32 with MicroPython

Official Hardware Nano Family Nano ESP32

Hi,
Would anyone happen to know if the Nano ESP32 supports BLE; more specifically when using MicroPython? I thought it did but I'm beginning to doubt it.

When I try to use the bluetooth.BLE I'm getting an error to suggest the Nano bluetooth module hasn't implemented BLE.

If it's not available, is this an issue with the version of MicroPython for the Nano, or the version of the ESP32 chip?

Thanks!

Hi @dduffy.

It is definitely not the chip. The ESP32-S3 microcontroller used by the Nano ESP32 does have BLE capability:

Is it possible that BLE is missing from the Nano MicroPython firmware?
