Known issues
- due to Espressif ESP32 chip design limitations, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi components share some RF hardware resources. In SoftRF firmware priority is given to Bluetooth. So when Bluetooth SPP connection is active - SoftRF's Wi-Fi Access Point may disappear. It is Ok - it will come up again when the Bluetooth connection is over.
If you need rock solid operation of both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi AP at the same time - it is recommended to wire a hardware Bluetooth module (HC-05 or HM-10).
