Running BLE CSC characteristic on ESP32

Hello guys. Been using ESP32 for some time. Few months ago I decided to try and make my bluetooth bikemeter
(it will measure my speed and cadence). I modified ESP-IDF ble_spp_server serial example. I changed UUID to fit
CSC service UUID and also characteristics UUIDs to fit CSC feature and measurement characteristics. Im using
nRFConnect app to debug the app:

As you can see my device is visible in nrfconnect and it shows data when the data is generated.
But now I wanna see how it behaves in nrftoolbox (or any app that is capable of displaying CSC data).
nRFToolbox does not see my device:

My question is, has anyone ever did something like this (HRM, BPM or any other service), encounterd similar problem?

I am just guessing now, but probably you need to add CSC or other UUID to advertising.

Sry for late reply. What do you mean by that ?

Some standardized devices, like HR monitor or CSC, are recognized by advertising UUID or by appearance.

On figure 11 you have advertising settings and so called appearance.

Did you ever get this to work? I am having the same problem. nRFconnect sees device and shows data being sent (correctly) but won't see it in nRFToolbox. I can get bike computer apps (Wahoo, BikeBrain) to pair but it doesn't actually see the speed and cadence data. I was able to get Andreas Spies heartrate monitor sketch (https://github.com/SensorsIot/Bluetooth ... rduino-IDE) to show heartrate data just fine on the bike apps (I didn't try in the nRFToolbox).

I do have exactly the same Problem, Pairing works fine, but my bike computer doesn't show the Data. nRFToolbox working fine tho.
What did you do?
