From the guide by John Park at https://learn.adafruit.com/bluetooth-le-broadcastnet-sensor-node-raspberry-pi-wifi-bridge/overview ......

Following through the guide and executing on an upto date Pi OS on Zero W everything goes fine until you actually execute python3 ble_broadcastnet_blinka_bridge.py

After this , instead of finding the Clue (which has the prescribed basic broadcast script running and is tested with both CP5.3 and CP5.4BETA), the output is stuck at

This is BroadcastNet bridge: b827eb2d289a

scanning

until after about 15 minutes an error (memory error) stops python 3.7 running on the Pi Zero W and the following extra output is given :

This same fault was raised by another use in Adafruit Customer forums in MArch at https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=163964 and by myself earlier today at https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=166701

Would like to get this to work, and given I can see the CLUE in a bluetooth scan from Bluefruit Connect iOS app I'm at a loss as to whether this is down to Adafruit_CircuitPython_BLE_BroadcastNet or the CP library adafruit_ble_broadcastnet.mpy
