Hi,
I am using "ble_app_uart" code and added battery service to it as custom changes.
I want to update battery level at every 3 seconds.
Code is working fine and starts broadcast & advertise and service information but when I call/enable timer_init() and timers_start() function on main loop it's stop broadcasting.
Can you tell me whats wrong in my code?
Here I have attached my main.c file for your reference
