UART write to BLE function

[Dan Colob]

I am using the ble_app_uart example and I am having a hard time finding the function that writes a UART message to BLE from the Nordic to the host. uart_event_handle() seems to be reading from BLE, is there one that writes?

Hi,

ble_app_uart example has same function  uart_event_handle()  read from uart and send to connected BLE device.

nus_data_handler() from ble device to uart

The functions in main.c? They seem to be doing the opposite way. The comments for the uart_event_handle(): "[Handling the data received over UART]"

Here is the code with the comments:

/**@brief   Function for handling app_uart events.
 *
 * @details This function will receive a single character from the app_uart module and append it to
 *          a string. The string will be be sent over BLE when the last character received was a
 *          'new line' '\n' (hex 0x0A) or if the string has reached the maximum data length.

ble_nus_data_send at line 32 does the BLE send.
