Bluetooth characteristic runtime
-
I am trying to create a bluetooth GATT characteristic at runtime using Qt 5.9, is this possible? If so, any clues on how I can do this? I want to be able to dynamically add a characteristic to a peripheal based on a runtime condition and this to be advertised.
Thanks, Andy

Hi
I think its possible

"While it is advisable to use pre-defined UUIDs where available it is entirely possible to use new and not yet used UUIDs for characteristic and service types." -

I have been able to create a custom service and characteristic with no trouble already. What I want to do is add another characteristic in runtime after a certain event and that the new characteristic is browsable as the original characteristics.

Hi
Im not sure what is preventing you from doing it the same way as the first
characteristic ?
Is there something that cannot be created dynamically ? -

Is this an issue in advertising? In other words if I add a characteristic after starting to advertise do I need to restart the advertising?

Hi
Yes, i think you need to start over but i never tested it.
Do you connect anything ?
"Note: Advertising will stop automatically once a client connects to the local device."Try with a flipflop stopAdvertising()/start
