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

Sorry for the late reply but I have been out of office travelling this week. I'm glad you were able to figure it out on your own!

Best regards,
