Thanks Edvin for the reply, 1) can i use the characteristic with variable data length ? and 2)if i use uart , when the third party people uses the ble device they may expect this to work as normal uart functionality or 3) can i use the uart service with custom UUID ?

incase , if i approach 3rd option , in my application i may use traditional uart functionality also ,as specified in the example, will it effect my sensor data collection?

Hello,

You need to decide whether you want to use separate services/characteristics for this, or you can use one characteristic and send a string of bytes representing each sensor. Either way, if you want to get familiar, you can use the ble_app_uart and ble_app_uart_c examples.

NB: It is difficult to develop for the dongle, because it doesn't have a debugger. I suggest you get hold of one extra DK for development. When you are satisfied, you can port your application to the dongle.
