Bluetooth Classic on the MKRWIFI1010

Hardware MKR Family MKRWIFI1010
1

Hello,

Has anyone had any luck with enabling Bluetooth in Classic (serial) mode rather than BLE on the 1010? I'm not sure how to go about doing this. My only thought is to connect SoftwareSerial to the esp32's Rx/Tx pins, but would the firmware have to be modified?

I've seen this question asked a few places but with no answers.

Thank you!

EDIT: I'm also considering a UART interface for BLE which I can connect to nRF UART. From what I understand this amounts to a Characteristic for each Rx and Tx and writing the serial data from the arduino to the Tx characteristic - Connecting to BLE UART Service via Android - Programming Questions - Arduino Forum

I'm having the same exact problem. I ended using an ESP32 board. The MKR1010 its a good piece of hardware but for the moment lacks proper firmware which its a shame.

I also considered using UART from nordic semiconductor or Texas Instruments but had no luck implementing it in a computer (I need LabView.) For this reason I decided to ditch this board
