Bluetooth value reading and writing problem.

I managed to set the UUID section on my own, but I'm having trouble reading and writing some data. I'm changing the on_write function in Ble_nus.c, but I can't get results. Tell me where I'm wrong.

I want to make a UUID like HM-10.

  • Yes, I want to create a UUID that contains exactly NOTIFY, READ, WRITE  and WRITE NO RESPONSE, and send and receive data over this ID.

  • I modified the ble ble_nus_init(..) function in the ble_nus.c library in the following manner:

    memset(&add_char_params, 0, sizeof(add_char_params));
        add_char_params.uuid                     = BLE_UUID_NUS_RX_CHARACTERISTIC;
        add_char_params.uuid_type                = p_nus->uuid_type;
        add_char_params.max_len                  = BLE_NUS_MAX_RX_CHAR_LEN;
        add_char_params.init_len                 = sizeof(uint8_t);
        add_char_params.is_var_len               = true;
        add_char_params.char_props.write         = 1;
        add_char_params.char_props.write_wo_resp = 1;
    
        add_char_params.char_props.read         = 1; //Added
        add_char_params.char_props.notify = 1;       //Added
    
    
        add_char_params.read_access  = SEC_OPEN;
        add_char_params.write_access = SEC_OPEN;
        add_char_params.cccd_write_access = SEC_OPEN; //Added
    
        err_code = characteristic_add(p_nus->service_handle, &add_char_params, &p_nus->rx_handles);
    

    • I modified the RX characterstics, but you can change to UUID to whatever you would like
    • Now you are able to read from it and write to it (with and without response)
    • In order to notify the characteristic value to a central device, you need to use the function sd_ble_gatts_hvx(..)
      • Tell me if you want to elaborate more on this function
    • I would recommend you to not modify the ble_nus.c library directly, but instead create a copy (e.g. ble_nus2.c) since you may want to use this library with other projects, then you include the copied library in the Project Explorer window as shown below:

    Best regards,
