> The bluetooth specification does not prohibit a device from attempting to initiate a connection and scan simultaneously. Note that I am not referring to the ability to do both at the same instant of time; I am referring to the ability of a controller to alternate between scanning and initiating. The current nimBLE controller only has one scanning state machine and that state machine object is used by an initiator and a scanner. This is the reason why, if either scanning or initiating is currently enabled, the controller will not allow the host to scan/initiate; there would have to be multiple instantiations of this object (and other aspects of the controller would have to change).
> Note that the controller does allow for scanning while there is a connection (or multiple connections) ongoing.
