ble_app_uart sends a notification when data_array is filled up or upon a new line character (uart_event_handle(..)). Instead of waiting for data_array to be filled up, you can remove the line checking if data_array is full or not. Since the maximum amount of data in a notification is 20 bytes, only sending 1 byte will decrease the maximum throughput to 1/20.

hi Kristin thanks for your response & sorry for the delay, Your answer is acceptable but i need to send a character or number for selecting a particular function in the switch case ,suppose if i send a character 's' it is received as a string "s" so it is not possible to use a string in the switch case that's what the actual problem..

thanks in advance...

Upon reception of a string character, you can cast it to a character.
