RE: Queued Writes example problems

Yes, you are right, the correct UUID for the queued write characteristic is 6e400002-b5a3-f393-e0a9-e50e24dcca9e. The currently used characteristic UUID is the Bluetooth SIG base UUID, and it's a bug that that UUID is being used for this characteristic.

To obtain using the UART UUID, the uuid_type parameter should be added to the characteristic. In nrf_ble_qwrs.c --> nrf_ble_qwrs_init(), the setup of the characteristic should look like the following:

uint32_t nrf_ble_qwrs_init(nrf_ble_qwrs_init_t *p_qwrs_init, nrf_ble_qwrs_t *p_qwrs)
{
    ....
    //Add Long characteristic
    ble_add_char_params_t add_char_params;

    memset(&add_char_params, 0, sizeof(add_char_params));
    add_char_params.uuid               = BLE_UUID_QWRS_LONG_CHARACTERISTIC;
	add_char_params.uuid_type	 =  p_qwrs->uuid_type; //todo: add this line to use correct base UUID
    add_char_params.max_len            = BLE_QWRS_MAX_LONG_CHAR_LEN;
    add_char_params.init_len           = 0;
    add_char_params.char_props.write   = true;
    add_char_params.write_access       = SEC_OPEN;
    add_char_params.is_defered_write   = true;

    err_code = characteristic_add(p_qwrs->service_handle,
                          &add_char_params,
                          &p_qwrs->long_charact_handles);

    ...
}
