Characteristics when connecting a peripheral to central

[John]

Hi, I have a peripheral device which has buttons that connects to a central device which is the NRF52 board. When the peripheral device is connected and buttons are inputted, the characteristics of the button are not displayed on the UART terminal when I press it. I was not sure why because I have the correct UUID and the RX and TX characteristics. I have implemented the UART example to the HRS example, but it was because I wanted to have the board act as both the central and the peripheral but connect to any or multiple peripheral. I know that inside the ble_nus_c_evt_handler() method there is ble_nus_c_rx_notif_enable(), but it does not work.

Here is my code so far. Please let me know if there are any errors.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can't you just do something like this when you receive an advertising report:

    case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT:
    {
        const ble_gap_evt_adv_report_t * p_adv_report = &p_gap_evt->params.adv_report;

        if (is_uuid_present(&m_nus_uuid, p_adv_report))
        {
            err_code = sd_ble_gap_connect(&p_adv_report->peer_addr,
                                          &m_scan_params,
                                          &m_connection_param);
            APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
        }
    }break;

Instead of checking the name like you are doing now. I'm have trouble understand what the problem is, maybe I'm misunderstanding you?
