The easiest way to take screenshot in Linux is using the "PrtSc" key. But if your keyboard haven't the "PrtSc" key, it's another easy way, search and run screenshot in Start menu. At least it works on Linux Mint.

Previous posts introduced " MicroPython bluetooth remote control LED between Raspberry Pi Pico W and ESP32-C3, using aioble library " and " BLE examples run on Nano 33 BLE (as Peripheral) and Uno R4 WiFi (as Central) using ArduinoBLE in Arduino Framework ". This video further test how BLE communication between that two approach.

Last post introduced " MicroPython bluetooth example using aioble library, temp_client.py and temp_sensor.py ". This post modified it to remote control LED via bluetooth between Raspberry Pi Pico W and ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 , achieve the same function as in " BLE examples run on Nano 33 BLE (as Peripheral) and Uno R4 WiFi (as Central), using ArduinoBLE in Arduino framework ". Basically, the bluetooth/aioble parts on both boards are same, but code in separated is caused by different configurare of onboard LED.

With recent update of MicroPython, bluetooth is supported in Raspberry Pi Pico W build. The official guide " Connecting to the Internet with Raspberry Pi Pico W book (2023-06-14) " updated with example using bluetooth. Read my previous post " Prepare MicroPython Bluetooth service example on Raspberry Pi Pico W ". Refer to MicroPython libraries document - bluetooth , higher-level aioble library is recommended. aioble provides an object-oriented, asyncio-based wrapper for MicroPython's bluetooth API. (* This module is still under development and its classes, functions, methods and constants are subject to change.) This video introduce the alternative using aioble library, run on Raspberry Pi Pico W and  Espressif ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 , both run MicroPython v1.21.0. Notice that aioble is included in Raspberry Pi Pico W MicroPython v1.21.0, but not in v1.20.0. Fail in await connection.disconnected() using aioble library...

Last post show how to display on SSD1306/SSD1315 OLED with Uno R4 WiFi & Nano 33 BLE using U8g2 library , this post show how to using Adafruit SSD1306 library. Install Adafruit SSD1306 library and dependencies, Adafruit BusIO and Adafruit GFX Library. Connnection, refer to last post . In last post, it's found that the I2C Address of SSD1306/SSD1315 OLED is 0x3C. Open File > Examples > Adafruit SSD1306 > ssd1306_128x64_i2c Change SCREEN_ADDRESS to 0x3C. #define SCREEN_ADDRESS 0x3C //0x3D Then it can run on Uno R4 WiFi & Nano 33 BLE to display on SSD1306/SSD1315 OLED.

The video show ArduinoBLE examples run on Nano 33 BLE (Peripheral>LED example) and Uno R4 WiFi (Central>LedControl example). To remote control onboard LED via BLE. What I changed on code is in LedControl.ino: pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); change to: pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP ); and int buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); change to: int buttonState = ! digitalRead(buttonPin); Such that you can connect pin 2 on Uno R4 WiFi to GND to simulate key press,to remote control Nano 33 BLE onboard LED via BLE. next: ~ This code communicate with MicroPython using aioble library -  BLE communication between MicroPython aioble and ArduinoBLE .
