Looking around the web I can find quite a bit of information about using BlueZ as a BLE client for connecting to other BLE devices to read/write attributes, but I am struggling to find anything which helps explain creating a BLE service and dealing with advertising. Can anyone point me to a resource for learning to work with the BlueZ C api for creating/starting/stopping services, adding/modifying characteristics, starting/stopping/modifying advertisments? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Matthew, Are you wanting to use a C program to do your BLE stuff? Or are open to writing a python one? I’m currently trying to work through the same issues, but using python as the glue to configure/manage the service/characteristic.
