BLE Services, a beginner's tutorial

[Stas]

(nrf52832 PCA10040) Hello. I'm trying to go along with the ble tutorial (advertising, service). I download before last version of sdk 11 because with last 12 it's not working. But a lot of information about attributes and different things I have to get from MCP (Master Control Panel). I've found version 3.10.0. but it seems that this version is not fit for my board.

in example's description tells you can use MCP in nrf Toolbox on your android phone.But I can't find it there. There's Nrf connect** app I can find some things there, but not all of noticed in the tutorial (services, characteristics an etc).

Concerning the apps, there are multiple apps on Android : nRF Connect allows you to see the advertising devices, to see their characteristics, connect, bond, and even make your smartphone an advertising Peripheral. nRF Connect is a new name, I think it was previously named nRF Master Control Panel. In my opinion it's the most useful one. You can use nRF Connect for this example, you'll maybe miss some information since the desktop app seems to show a bit more than the Android app, but the most important information are in both places.

nRF Toolbox provide a set of GUIs to work with standard services such as HRM (Heart Rate Monitor).

There's also nRF UART V2.0, nRF Beacon for Eddystone, nRF Logger and probably more.
