I am following the turtorial in the Github and build a project which add a custom service. The project can read, write and notify between the board and mobile nRF connect application. But it can only transmit one byte in heximal. How can I change it to transfer float number?
This the turtorial website: https://github.com/NordicPlayground/nRF52-Bluetooth-Course
This is the code which transfer the data. I have tried to change the type of custom_value to float, but there is no effect.
uint32_t ble_cus_custom_value_update(ble_cus_t * p_cus, uint8_t custom_value) { NRF_LOG_INFO("In ble_cus_custom_value_update. \r\n"); if (p_cus == NULL) { return NRF_ERROR_NULL; } uint32_t err_code = NRF_SUCCESS; ble_gatts_value_t gatts_value; // Initialize value struct. memset(&gatts_value, 0, sizeof(gatts_value)); gatts_value.len = sizeof(uint8_t); gatts_value.offset = 0; gatts_value.p_value = &custom_value; // Update database. err_code = sd_ble_gatts_value_set(p_cus->conn_handle, p_cus->custom_value_handles.value_handle, &gatts_value); if (err_code != NRF_SUCCESS) { return err_code; } // Send value if connected and notifying. if ((p_cus->conn_handle != BLE_CONN_HANDLE_INVALID)) { ble_gatts_hvx_params_t hvx_params; memset(&hvx_params, 0, sizeof(hvx_params)); hvx_params.handle = p_cus->custom_value_handles.value_handle; hvx_params.type = BLE_GATT_HVX_NOTIFICATION; hvx_params.offset = gatts_value.offset; hvx_params.p_len = &gatts_value.len; hvx_params.p_data = gatts_value.p_value; err_code = sd_ble_gatts_hvx(p_cus->conn_handle, &hvx_params); } else { err_code = NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE; } return err_code; }
