-BLE_Button is a BLE service template. It handles a read-only characteristic with a simple input (boolean values). The input's source is the button on the board itself - the characteristic's value changes when the button is pressed or released.
-
-The template covers:
-
-1. Setting up advertising and connection modes.
-
-1. Creating an input characteristic: read-only, boolean, with notifications.
-
-1. Constructing a service class and adding it to the BLE stack.
-
-1. Assigning UUIDs to the service and its characteristic.
-
-1. Pushing notifications when the characteristic's value changes.
-
-# Running the application
-
-## Requirements
-
-The sample application can be seen on any BLE scanner on a smartphone. If you don't have a scanner on your phone, please install :
-
-- [nRF Master Control Panel](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp) for Android.
-
-- [LightBlue](https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/lightblue-bluetooth-low-energy/id557428110?mt=8) for iPhone.
-
-Hardware requirements are in the [main readme](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-ble/blob/master/README.md).

-## Building instructions

-Building instructions for all samples are in the [main readme](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-ble/blob/master/README.md).

-## Checking for success
-
-**Note:** Screens captures depicted below show what is expected from this example if the scanner used is *nRF Master Control Panel* version 4.0.5. If you encounter any difficulties consider trying another scanner or another version of nRF Master Control Panel. Alternative scanners may require reference to their manuals.
-
-1. Build the application and install it on your board as explained in the building instructions.
-1. Open the BLE scanner on your phone.
-1. Start a scan.

-
-1. Discover the services and the characteristics on the device. The *Button service* has the UUID `0xA000` and includes the *Button state characteristic* which has the UUID `0xA001`. Depending on your scanner, non standard 16-bit UUID's can be displayed as 128-bit UUID's. If it is the case the following format will be used: `0000XXXX-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB` where `XXXX` is the hexadecimal representation of the 16-bit UUID value.
