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.

This is how I have it set up:

case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT: {

        if (strlen(m_target_periph_name) != 0)
        {
            if (find_adv_name(&p_gap_evt->params.adv_report, m_target_periph_name))
            {
                // Initiate connection.
                err_code = sd_ble_gap_connect(&p_gap_evt->params.adv_report.peer_addr,
                                              &m_scan_params,
                                              &m_connection_param);
                if (err_code != NRF_SUCCESS)
                {
                    NRF_LOG_INFO("Connection Request Failed, reason %d\r\n", err_code);
                }
            }
        }
					
					
        else
        {
           /** We do not want to connect to two peripherals offering the same service, so when
            *  a UUID is matched, we check that we are not already connected to a peer which
            *  offers the same service. */
						
						const ble_gap_evt_adv_report_t * p_adv_report = &p_gap_evt->params.adv_report;
						
            if ((is_uuid_present(&m_adv_uuids[0], p_adv_report)))
								
            {
                // Initiate connection.
                err_code = sd_ble_gap_connect(&p_adv_report->peer_addr,
                                              &m_scan_params,
                                              &m_connection_param);
								
								
                if (err_code == NRF_SUCCESS)
            {
                
                printf("Connecting to target %02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x\r\n",
                         p_adv_report->peer_addr.addr[0],
                         p_adv_report->peer_addr.addr[1],
                         p_adv_report->peer_addr.addr[2],
                         p_adv_report->peer_addr.addr[3],
                         p_adv_report->peer_addr.addr[4],
                         p_adv_report->peer_addr.addr[5]
                         );
            }
            }
        }
    } 
			
			
			break; // BLE_GAP_ADV_REPORT

The problem is trying to get the UUID characteristics to show up in the UART terminal such as Termite when inputting buttons on a peripheral device. The NRF52 board should act as a central and peripheral.So that is why I am trying to incorporate the UART example with HRS relay example.
