+# Pico W Bluetooth Examples
+
+The source for most of the Bluetooth examples is stored in pico-sdk/lib/btstack/example.
+There's a standalone example in `pico-examples/pico_w/bt/standalone`.
+
+## Debugging
+
+To debug bluetooth issues you can enable btstack debug output which also enables packet logging.
+Define `WANT_HCI_DUMP=1` in your CMakeLists.txt file. Uncomment this line to enable debug in the btstack examples.
+
+	target_compile_definitions(picow_bt_example_common INTERFACE
+	    #WANT_HCI_DUMP=1 # This enables btstack debug
+	    )
+
+## Packet logging
+
+To view packet logs, save the output from the debug port (e.g. the uart) to a file and run `pico-sdk/btstack/tools/create_packet_log.py <filename>`.
+This will generate a file with the same name except for a `pklg` extension. This can be opened in the Wireshark application to analyze communications activity.
