# 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](https://github.com/bluekitchen/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](https://www.wireshark.org) application to analyze communications activity. |
