I am trying to add an extra service from an exiting nordic example code:"experimental_ble_app_blinky" into another exiting nordic example code: "ble_app_hids_keyboard".
- device manger service
- battery service
- HID service
This extra service code which is a custom service with a new UUID is not showing up as 4th service in the new code.
Here is the code I am adding:
static void services_init(void)
{
dis_init(); //device information service
bas_init(); //battery service
hids_init(); //human interface service
bls_init(); // this is the extra new service button led service
}
Last line is the new 4th service I am adding which is called "led button service", which comes right from example "experimental_led blinky"
static void lbs_init(void)
{
uint32_t err_code;
ble_lbs_init_t init;
init.led_write_handler = led_write_handler;
err_code = ble_lbs_init(&m_lbs,init);
}
Of course, I have added all relevant code for building and compiling with no error. What I was expecting to see 1 more service which is a custom service in addition to device manager service and battery service, in my iphone which I am running a BLE scanner apps, but I see no custom service!!. What Am I missing here?
Also in hid keyboard example, during advertisement, in example code there is only one UUID number and type, like this:
static ble_uuid_t m_adv_uuids[] = {{BLE_UUID_HUMAN_INTERFACE_DEVICE_SERVICE, BLE_UUID_TYPE_BLE}};
I don't see any UUID for Device info Service, and battery service, although it shows up as services in my iphone BLE scan app, which I don't understand. Now do I need to add the UUID of my custom service into advertisement init?
I have seen some example that has all services part of adv_init code, like HRS example:
static ble_uuid_t m_adv_uuids[] =
{ {BLE_UUID_HEART_RATE_SERVICE, BLE_UUID_TYPE_BLE},
{BLE_UUID_BATTERY_SERVICE, BLE_UUID_TYPE_BLE},
{BLE_UUID_DEVICE_INFORMATION_SERVICE, BLE_UUID_TYPE_BLE} };
I am thinking may be its optional! One last comment, I also added scan response part of led button service service into advertising_init(). The hid keyboard code adv_init() was like this:
err_code = ble_advertising_init(&advdata, NULL, &options, on_adv_evt, ble_advertising_error_handler);
As you can see the second parameter is NULL, so I changed it to this:
err_code = ble_advertising_init(&advdata, &scanrsp, &options, on_adv_evt, ble_advertising_error_handler);
Again it just like the example LED_BLINKY custom service, which scan response is pass into this code:
err_code = ble_advdata_set(&advdata, &scanrsp);
I want to make sure if this is doable to have more than 3 services in HID example code,
Thanks
