Hey, I am trying to incorporate an app timer using the app timer function already on the code in the central and peripheral examples of the SDK for the UART examples. Specifically, I would like to incorporate it into the "uart_event_handle" functions. As you can see, the code has a trigger that waits until a "\n" is found in the array. Instead I would like to make the array collect until the end of a certain time interval and then send that array, then empty the array and repeat the process every interval. I have no idea how this code works so if I could get any help on what kind of logic needs to be put, where to initialize what, etc. Thanks
void uart_event_handle(app_uart_evt_t * p_event)
{
static uint8_t data_array[BLE_NUS_MAX_DATA_LEN];
static uint8_t index = 0;
uint32_t err_code;
switch (p_event->evt_type)
{
case APP_UART_DATA_READY:
UNUSED_VARIABLE(app_uart_get(&data_array[index]));
index++;
if ((data_array[index - 1] == '\n') || (index >= (m_ble_nus_max_data_len)))
{
NRF_LOG_DEBUG("Ready to send data over BLE NUS");
NRF_LOG_HEXDUMP_DEBUG(data_array, index);
do
{
uint16_t length = (uint16_t)index;
err_code = ble_nus_data_send(&m_nus, data_array, &length, m_conn_handle);
if ( (err_code != NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE) && (err_code != NRF_ERROR_BUSY) &&
(err_code != NRF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND) )
{
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}
} while (err_code == NRF_ERROR_BUSY);
index = 0;
}
break;
case APP_UART_COMMUNICATION_ERROR:
APP_ERROR_HANDLER(p_event->data.error_communication);
break;
case APP_UART_FIFO_ERROR:
APP_ERROR_HANDLER(p_event->data.error_code);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
