Any recommendations re how to simultaneously communicate on wifi & bluetooth in a somewhat compact form factor? Currently testing on a esp8266 feather to drive a 5V LED matrix (thus level shifting), but want to communicate with bluetooth while the device is on the net via wifi. Seems like without serious hardware/software hackery, this cannot be done with ESP32, so have been exploring e.g. dual modules (e.g. adding a bluetooth module to a wifi-board) but not sure how this will work re e.g. needing to seemingly partition parallel tx/rx pins? Was considering switching to e.g. arduino unvo wifi rev2 so I could nix the current level shifter, and am exploring the different BLE modules either way...given reported bluetooth module clones skipping some internal components have preference for adafruit products.
Anyone implement a dual-module project to simultaneously communicate with wifi & bluetooth? Thanks for any thoughts/recs/input!

Re: simultaneous wifi & bluetooth
Your options are pretty limited today for simultaneous BLE + WiFi.
Either use a Pi Zero which is as compact as you can get to have both easily accessible or setup two AirLift capable devices on a controller. One Airlift in BLE mode and the other in WiFi.
