Variable doesn't change in NRF.setServices

Hi All,

I have the following code that does not do what I want:
```
...
NRF.setServices({
  0x180A : { // Device information
    0x2A25 : { // Serial Number
      readable: true,
      value : [getSerial() + '#' + count_str]
  }}
});
...
```
The variable count_str is a counter as string that gets incremented every time I connect in a "NRF.on('connect', function()". I can see that the counter string increments correctly (puck console), but when I check the services and characteristics that the Puck advertises via Android, I see only the initial value of the counter string (#00000 - Serial Number) and not the updated one.
I am not aware if this is maybe a caching problem of Android? Do I have to do anything else to receive the updated counter string?

Thanks

I think once you have set the services up at the start, you probably want to use NRF.updateServices every time they change

Great! I have missed that. Works like a charm now.

Thanks a lot

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
