Read multi characteristics from the peripheral as a central

[achraf]

Hello,
I'm workin with custom nrf52832 and sdk15.0.0, so to work with the central , i chose the example :ble_app_blinky_c .
I modife the code to control my custom characteristics , and read my custom characteristics, but when i want to read multi characteristics, I'm confused how i should do it by duplicat everythin onhvx and the uuid or what so please guide me to the do it simple

[Kenneth]

Not sure if I have any recommendation here in specific. I assume you need to have a array of some sort that have an overview of the number of active links (connection handles) and notification handles. Then each time you receive a notification from the peer you can do a lookup in the array which characteristic that sent the notification.

Alternatively you can just add data (e.g. use a header in the data) to the notification, such that the application just parse the notification itself to find the characteristic.

Best regards,
Kenneth

sorry I didnt get you
here is my code based on the ble_app_blinky_c  nothing changed only the uuid .
please explain where i shoud do the things or what am i suposed to do cause its confusing example .
