 Is there any limitation to characteristic size for use in notifications?
The reason for asking is the following:
I have a service with a characteristic with size 24 bytes.
When doing a normal read of that characteristic, I get 24 bytes all right</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 29 Aug 2016 14:39:33 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/16064/characteristic-size-different-between-read-and-notification" /><item><title>RE: characteristic size different between read and notification</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/61253?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 29 Aug 2016 14:39:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:265421bb-aa61-4e5b-a955-3162969d7fb7</guid><dc:creator>Petter Myhre</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The default (and maximum) MTU size of the S110 SoftDevice is 23 bytes. If you take away 3 bytes for the header you end up with maximum of 20 bytes of data. So you can have 20 bytes of data in each GATT operation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m guessing that lightblue does two read operations, first the first 20 bytes, then the next 4 bytes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
