Would be nice to have a BT Mac address of FFxFF :D Wouldn't that be unique?
Also, if this is a campervan and probably would be out and about the weather, maybe you can try getting the MDBT42Q breakout board for a permanent installation?
What I personally do is to try things out on my Pixl and when the code / connections are ready I use an MDBT42Q breakout instead. It's cheaper (so I won't feel as bad if/when it crashes and burns) and smaller, so it's easier to get it in an enclosure for waterproofing. Maybe even bathe it in some hot glue or epoxy/resin with some terminals sticking out for the ultimate in weather protection.
Glad to know the Pixl survived. I'm quite surprised at how resilient these boards are (I had a post here where I plugged in the lipo backwards on an MDBT42Q breakout and it only killed the voltage regulator, preventing damage to the actual chip).
