Hi @microzirtik , MakeCode doesn’t provide access to customize Bluetooth advertising or to create custom services, but you can use the provided services. And rather than a custom service, you can use the UART service to exchange messages and do custom things. Many mobile apps that interact with micro:bits use this approach and can often be easily used to interact with the micro:bit in applications the app wasn’t originally meant for. There are some examples of that elsewhere in this forum, like the discussion at: [Android app/Discord - #8 by bsiever](https://forum.makecode.com/t/android-app-discord/7696/8) You can control advertising and characteristics via C/C++ and through MakeCode via C++ based extensions. I wrote MakeCode BLE HID blocks that control the advertising and create services ([here](https://github.com/bsiever/microbit-pxt-blehid)). It provides some examples of how to customize advertising. I’ve also written a bluetooth service to retrieve the datalogger data ([here](https://github.com/bsiever/pxt-blelog)). There’s a corresponding JavaScript library/webpage to retrieve the data from a computer [here](https://bsiever.github.io/microbit-webblelog/) ([source](https://github.com/bsiever/microbit-webblelog)) or a more user-friendly prototype website at [https://2024-ui-sp.github.io/Micro-bit-ble/](https://2024-ui-sp.github.io/Micro-bit-ble/) ([source](https://github.com/2024-UI-SP/Micro-bit-ble/)) . This work may be a better example of writing a custom service than the BLE HID blocks. Hope that helps a bit, Bill P.S. According to the docs, the other version of Python, micropython, doesn’t support BLE for anything other than flashing.
