We are about to embark on a new design. The plan is to use the Beaglebone Black and the combination BLE/Wi-Fi daughterboard. However, there are two that meet our needs and I'm wondering if anyone has advice on which to choose.
The only difference between the "BLE" and the 5 appears to be the support of the 5GHz band. I don't think we will care whether we use 2.4G or 5G 802.11, but are there other reasons to use the dual-band model (better software support, access to other features, etc, etc) that we may not have anticipated?
Thanks much for your feedback,
