HI,

I started to develop an App which uses Bluetooth to communicate with my Arduino device (actually ESP32). This app is developed using MIT App inventor. Now I find out that MIT can’t persist the BT connection across different screens and the solution is to create virtual screens within the screen which owns the BT connection. Bummer.  
Does Thunkable have the same limitation?

Cheers,  
Gilbert

The bluetooth component (BLE) is part of the invisible components which are all screen independent.
