Hi,

Is it possible to transfer an image to a mobile phone app through BLE on with the AMB82-mini? I have not seen any examples and I don’t know if this is achievable. Any thoughts on this?

Hi @kpyeo ,

BLE is generally a low-throughput protocol, which makes transferring images challenging compared to Wi-Fi. The AMB82-mini does support Wi-Fi-based image/video streaming (e.g., via RTSP), which may be a more practical alternative for image transfer to a mobile app, as the built-in WiFi (802.11ac) has orders of magnitude faster than BLE. The [V7RC Car example](https://ameba-doc-arduino-sdk.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/ameba_pro2/amb82-mini/Example_Guides/BLE/V7RC%20Car%20With%20Video%20Streaming.html) shows the combination using BLE for commands, WiFi for video/images.
