There is this:
https://developer.ibm.com/recipes/tutor ... nd-watson/ but it is broken with the latest IDF code, and it never really worked very reliably always eventually failing with this:
https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/442. After that I tried updating IDF a couple of times but that seemed to be even more unreliable. From this ESP32/Arduino issue -
https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/383 - it sounds like the very latest IDF code might have some fixes that get the BLE beacon working again, I'll give it a try when I get a moment (I've given up for now and trying the Pi0W). Would be terrific to get some clarity from Espressif about the state and plans for BLE support, it was much anticipated feature of the ESP32 and its been a bit disappointing so far.
