BLE characteristic readValue cannot reliably read data

I am trying to read the value from a characteristic of a BLE device. The code

Also if I call `readValue()` twice in a sequence, the second call seems to be able to get the data reliably.

I don't think there is something wrong with the BLE server, It has been tested on a computer and a phone.

Any help will be appreciated.

Re: BLE characteristic readValue cannot reliably read data

This is the reason:

Code: Select all

[I][BLEDevice.cpp:253] gapEventHandler(): ESP_GAP_BLE_AUTH_CMPL_EVT
Please compare both logs. In short, you cant read from ble server until authentication is not completed with success.

Re: BLE characteristic readValue cannot reliably read data

Thank you for pointing it out.

It seems to me that this authentication process happens inside readValue(), is it possible for me to wait for authentication?

Sorry for the noob question, but I am following the examples provided and cannot find a place to control the authentication.
