Cycling Speed and Cadence Service Client - example

[kronikary]

Hi!

Maybe I am missing some idea, but I wonder why Nordic prepared CSC Service for Server but there is no implementation for Client. I know there is RCSC, but I belive to make it work with CSCS,  source files ble_rscs_c has to be edited.

With best regards

Hi

Please check out this case, which seems to handle the same problem that you're currently having. Let me know if you need further assistance on this.

Best regards,

Hi

What I want to do is simple Central device that reads revolution data from cycling speed/cadence sensor. There is no example (like BLE Heart Rate Collector Example) as well as BLE service for Client. There is only Client service library for Running sensors and as far as I know developers write their own implementations for Cycling Client Service:
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/14634/how-to-implement-a-cscs-central
So I wonder why there is no library in nRF5 SDK for this particular case?

Hi

Implementing a client and server library/example for every BLE service there is would be an almost insurmountable task, so there's just a matter of this specific client (library and example) being down-prioritized during development on our side.

As Kristin says in the case you linked to, the CSCS and RSC profiles have a lot in common, so it should be possible to modify the existing RSC library and example to use the CSCS profile instead. 

As described in the CSC peripheral example you can use a phonewith nRFConnect or the nRFConnect for Desktop application to test the service.

Best regards,

Simon
