Adding custom service UUID in pc_ble_driver_py

[KVAJOH]

Hi 

I made a custom service for sending radar data from a NRF52 DK and I'm trying to access it with my computer using the pc_ble_driver_py. 

I tried to modify the heart_rate_collector.py example to fit my application, but I am not able to add my custom service UUID.  I followed a similar thread regarding the same issue(How to write to a custom 128 UUID service using pc-ble-driver-py), but it does not work. 

I get the error:

  File "C:\Users\akkvj\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\pc_ble_driver_py\ble_adapter.py", line 254, in enable_notification
raise NordicSemiException('CCCD not found')
pc_ble_driver_py.exceptions.NordicSemiException: CCCD not found

Can you explain how I can modify the heart rate example to enable my custom service? The data I'm transferring are very similar to heart-rate data. 

I'm using Anaconda python distribution package and a nRF52840 DK. 

Thank you very much

Hi Aksel

Back to your original issue. "CCCD not found" for a second. Can you check if your service has a CCCD? The nRFConnect for desktop app will be helpful here. 

Roughly, what you have to do is to replace the the heart rate service with the custom_ble_service. To do this, you should try to understand how the heart rate collector is implemented, and create an equivalent implementation for the service you want.

Best regards,

Simon

I also tried connecting with nRFConnect for Mobile. I get the exact same screenshot(including the CCCD UUID) as in the custom service example.
