I am trying to stop all traffic out of the puck so that I can send 1 advertisement out when the button is clicked. One message a day will save my battery and not confuse my client(RPI).

My RPI will be sitting around listening for a single message and when that binary message gets received it will send a message to Azure.

What do you suggest on making this happen for a BLE rookie?

Thank you for creating this great device.

Thank you Gordon, I will give those suggestions a try.

Yes, that was the problem, I am now able to see the new Service.
Thank you.

My IOS nRF app does not allow me to change the data type, I only have a text box with 0x preceding it. Could you tell me is it asking for hex?
I type in 1 and hit send and the box turns red, so it must not like it. The write types are Command and Request, both choke on me entering 1

I am following along with the video:
Puck.js Bluetooth with the Graphical Editor

My puck shows up in the Nordic nRF Connect on my iPhone, but it only show the default UART Service, not the service I created and deployed by following the video.

The IDE show this message:
BLE connected, queueing BLE restart for later

I disconnected and reconnected many times.

Any Ideas?
Thank you.

Yes, it was a strong magnet and it was really close. Thanks for explaining the situation to me.

Thank you for the code sample, I will put it into place tonight.

After about 10 seconds of mag readings (zero), I bring a magnet close to the puck. As expected the mag readings go up. Then I take the magnet away and the values go back down....a little. They do not go back down to the zero values that I would have expected.

So the open close door example does not work correctly because we never get back below 1000.

var zero = Puck.mag();
var doorOpen = false;

function onMag(p)
{
  p.x -= zero.x;
  p.y -= zero.y;
  p.z -= zero.z;
  
  var magSqrt = Math.sqrt(p.x*p.x + p.y*p.y + p.z*p.z);
  console.log(magSqrt);
  console.log(p);
  
  var open = magSqrt < 1000;
  
  if (open!=doorOpen)
  {
    console.log(magSqrt);
    doorOpen = open;
    digitalPulse(open ? LED1 : LED2, 1,1000);
  }
  
}

Puck.on('mag', onMag);
Puck.magOn();

Is there a tutorial, that I can't find, that shows code to advertise the magnetometer values in a characteristic when the button is pushed?

Thank you.
