Bluetooth SPP master role

[lyusupov]

SerialBT.cpp does currently have implementation for a "salve role' only.

It would be nice to have support for the 'master' role as well (like Arduino Core for ESP32 does).This will give a chance to connect a couple of PicoWs to each other by means of the Bluetooth transport.

Another issue is that "PicoW Serial" 'slave' id is hard-coded into the library.
A user may need to alter this name onto a custom one.

I have a project that uses a HC-05 Bluetooth SPP module in the "slave" mode to Tx data in the form of serial text to my PC (GBU521 USB module) and Android tablet/phone. Now that I have moved into the Arduino driven Pico W I would like to use the Pico's on board Bluetooth to Rx this data also, but I can't because as stated above it is "implementation for a "slave role' only". There are many of these HC05/6's in use out there.

Is there any implementation or near future plans a for serial "master" mode? Or is one of the existing Bluetooth functions able to do this?

Using the Arduino/earlephilhower/Pico W is allowing me to join a variety functions/items into one package. Very Nice!

tnx
