 I modified the ble_sdk_app_proximity example.
I added x3 services, based on the BLE Characteristics, a beginner&amp;#39;s tutorial, and it seems to be working fine.

&lt;p&gt;I think this is related to your other question: &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/130059/how-is-ble_conn_handle_invalid-changed-in-multiple-services/"&gt;How is BLE_CONN_HANDLE_INVALID changed in multiple services&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, you are free to call &lt;code&gt;our_termperature_characteristic_update()&lt;/code&gt; as fast as you want, but at a certain point the transmit buffer will overflow and &lt;code&gt;sd_ble_gatts_hvx()&lt;/code&gt; will return &lt;code&gt;BLE_ERROR_NO_TX_PACKETS&lt;/code&gt;. This error is pretty easy to handle though; make some sort of &lt;code&gt;if(returned error == BLE_ERROR_NO_TX_PACKETS)&lt;/code&gt; check, and simply try again until the function return NRF_SUCCESS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
