Declaring a service structure in your application

[MichaelNordicUser]

Hi,

I am trying to develop the ble_app_template project into a custom ble application.

Where is says

/* YOUR_JOB: Declare all services structure you application is using
   static ble_xx_service_t          m_xxxs;
   static ble_yy_service_t          m_yys;
*/

What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to create data structs with members representing properties of the service? Is there an example somewhere?

Thanks

Depends if you app needs to have a service, its perfectly possible to have an app which just advertises data but is not connectable..

But if your app will have a connectable service (or services), the normal advice is to not start from the blank template if you are a beginner, but start by copying the exmple which is most similar to your product requirements

If you are developing a custom service, the best example to use is the ble_app_uart as this uses the NUS service which is a custom service in the first place.

Then just duplicate the NUS Service to make your own service and update the nble_app_uart template to use your own custom service(s)

Even if you don't want to use the UART service, it contains an "example" of how to write the service structure stuff, and the NUS is a good example of a simple service
