Can you have different base UUID for characteristics in a service?

[Ron]

I've been successfully creating custom services, but there is one case where a device has a service UUID and it's 2 characteristics have completely different UUIDs (all 128 bit). Even amongst the characteristics, the UUIDs are completely different. Though I highly doubted it, is there a way to produce this on nordic?

Yes, you can use up to 10 base UUID's in the current softdevices. Just define the desired number of base UUID's and use these when initializing your services/characteristics.

Yes, If you look at sd_ble_gatts_characteristic_add you can see there is a ble_gatts_attr_t struct. This have a struct where you can define the base UUID and octet 12-13, ble_uuid_t. This is similar to the UUID you provide to sd_ble_gatts_service_add(). The UUID type provided to the characteristic doesn't have to be the same as the one given to the service.

hi run_ar , it's been six years since this thread was responded, i still have a question though, what you said, could that be applied when in central mode?

Hi,

Adding services applies to the gatt server (typically peripheral, but can also be central). But the addition og vendor specific UUID's will be similar also for the central. See sd_ble_uuid_vs_add
