NRF8001 Attempting to add Custom Services

[Matthew]

Hi,

I'm using a NRF8001 shield with an Arduino Leonardo, everything connection wise seems to be working. I'm using the "ble_my_project_template" and uploading various services.h files from other demos. I can see on my iPhone that the BLE devices shows up as a temperature monitor, UART, etc.

My problem is that I have been building my own services.h file using the nRFgo Studio and it compiles and uploads to the arduino (and supposedly the nrf8001) but only the name of the device changes. The available services and characteristics do not change.

My end goal is to build a set of custom Services to allow the iPhone to connect to the ble device and read sensor data. Is there an obvious reason why I can't update the services.h? Is there some sort of tutorial for this?

Thanks,

Matt

On a more basic level, make sure your new services are added to nRFgo's "Local (GATT Server)" column and not the "Remote (GATT Client)" column. It originally didn't occur to me that I could be specifying services that the nRF8001 wouldn't itself be providing, so the distinction was lost on me the first time I did this.
