Beginner tutorial for Handles?

[Mitch996]

Hello, I used to think that handles are just a member of a stuct or perhaps a field of a packet, which is used to identify data payloads.

Now it seems that I might have oversimplified things.

Alos, Google returns too much generic information.

So please someone point me to some quick dirty tips on this one? Thanks a whole bunch.

Google returns too much generic information.

That's because it is a very general & widely used term!

So you need to be more specific about what particular usage of "Handles" you're asking about.

Please take a look at the BLE Characteristics, a beginner's tutorial, which explain Bluetooth GATT Attribute Handles in a simple way.

Specifically, it describes Bluetooth GATT Attribute Handles.

Other handle types are available ...

Yes, I have updated my post to be more specific. Given that the question is tagged with Bluetooth Low Energy, I would assume these are the most relevant handles. If I'm wrong, we can always link to other handles later!
