Hi Nijat,

Do you want to create a custom service? In that case I recommend the Custom Service Tutorial.

Hi, Ketil, I came out a question after seeing this thread.

Can we create or configure a service using code? I mean what is the es_gatts_handle_write() used for ?

I am thinking we only can create Service and Characteristics using tools like MCP.

Hi Tran,

The documentation for the Eddystone example in SDK 14.2 is here.

More detailed documentation on functions and structs is available in the source code.

To answer your question, all write requests are handled by the es_gatts_handle_write() function. For the URL the sequence looks like this:

es_gatts_handle_write()
es_gatts_write_handle_unlocked_write()
1. case BLE_UUID_ESCS_RW_ADV_SLOT_CHAR:
es_slot_on_write()
configure_slot()
1. case ES_FRAME_TYPE_URL:

Hi Tran,

If you are looking specifically for information regarding Eddystone URLs we have a simpler Eddystone example which was available in earlier SDKs. This will show you how to format the advertisement packet.

Please let me know if you find this example helpful. If not I can take a closer look at the complete Eddystone example which you are currently working with.
