Edit: I was somewhat incomplete.

   

I'm using the: CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit. Using the CY8C4247LQI-BL483. 

   

 

   

I'm making my first steps with the bluetooth BLE dev kit using the Day040_BLE_Game_Controller example.

   

I've got quite some experience with the RovingNetworks/MicroChip RN-42 series. I also have some experience HID descriptors and BT connectivity.

   

I want to make my own game controller and want to change the service name (not to be confused with the "Local name" or "Device Name" that can be discovered). The device name (discovery name) that I use is "MyJoystick".

   

In the Day040_BLE_Game_Controller example this service name is set to "2 axis 2 button Joystick". See attached file.
I want to change this, but I can't find it anywhere in the code or HID descriptors.

   

Anyone any idea how I can change this?

   

Thanks...

Hi Paul,

   

I am not sure which project you are referring to, bu this name should be coming from the HID descriptors, please check the "Report map" in HID service of BLE component.

   

If you find some string with this name, you can update that.

   

Or attach the project and will check for this string.

Thanks Dana,

   

I've been going through this document, but it always referes to the 'Device Name'. That is not what I'm looking for.

   

Please see the attached screenshots including comments.

   

Or can you be more specific which API to use?

Hi Srikanth,

   

Please also see my attached screen shots, where I clearly explain the issue.

   

You won't find the specific string in the code (that is in fact the whole point).

   

Please download this package:

Cheers,

Dear Cypress, can you please have a look at my request.

   

We are nearing prototype stage and want this unclarity to be solved.

   

Please look closely at the screenshots I've submitted in my post of 24 Aug 2015 12:07 PM.
