I can't understand concept of control point..

I can't understand concept of control point..

Is it just one of charateristics?

So what are differences with other charateristics?

I heard that control point can be writable or notified, but cannot readable.

Is it right? I don't understand how unreadable value works.

A characteristic value could be a control point attribute, which per Bluetooth Core Specification 5.0, Vol 3, Part F, Section 3.2.6 is:

Attributes that cannot be read, but can only be written, notified or indicated arecalled control-point attributes. These control-point attributes can be used by higher layers to enable device specific procedures, for example the writing of a command or the indication when a given procedure on a device has completed.

You heard correct, and it is right.

Let me know if anything is still unclear.

Yes, it is. If a server get a write event about control point when a client send it, does the server extract relevant data in ble_evt_t type p_ble_evt->gatts_evt.write.data[x], then use these data in <if/else statement> and so on.. to determine that whether to perform any codes, not save in control point attribute value?
