BLE Reboot on Disconnect, after reading characteristic
Posted: Fri Nov 22, 2019 6:11 am
Hello, I'm using some modified example code to connect an ESP32 BLE client to an ESP32 BLE Server. I need to be able to connect to multiple servers, so it is imperative that I can disconnect successfully from each server.
I'm able to connect to server & find the characteristic.
If I don't read the characteristic, I'm able to connect & then disconnect without any issue.
If I read the characteristic value & then try to disconnect, I get the following error:
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong here?
I've got 2 lines below indicated with comments starting with "// ***" that show where my problem specifically lies.
Full code below:
