Bluetooth connection failed: Could not write value to characteristic 0024: Protocol Error 0x0A: Attribute Not Found #103

Hi, I'm working on a project with the HM-10 module. I've tested it with my phone using a Bluetooth-serial app, and communication works fine there (I have software that parses commands and sends back responses). However, when I use ble-serial or bleak, I can connect to the module, send only one command, get one response, and then the connection drops. Additionally, if I just connect to the device and open a serial terminal like PuTTY and try to send even one character, I get the same error. Only by being "fast" after the connection is established or by using a script can I get this one response before the connection drops. The error I get is: | ERROR | main.py: Bluetooth connection failed: Could not write value b'CHECK_CONNECTION\r\n' to characteristic 0024: Protocol Error 0x0A: Attribute Not Found.

I have read and tried the solutions mentioned in cannot write to BLE module via Bluetooth #23, but nothing worked. I have run out of ideas.

Also, I am a student and all this is very new to me, so I apologize in advance if my description is insufficient. I will provide any data necessary to resolve my issue.

I've tried both Linux and Windows: Setup 1

Setup 2

Additional Context I've tried just receiving from my module and it works okay. Im sending Hex data from lidar through HM-10 module so the problem is somewhere in ble-serial. This is the script i use for my connection. First im establishing connection on COM9 port ant than i send data through it. As i said previously i can get respond for first command but than the connection drops. (I have also tried code in /examples folder and it works the same - drops connection after first data is send).

Code:

import subprocess
import serial
import time
import os

def send_command(ser, command):
    command += '\r\n'
    ser.write(command.encode())
    print(f"Sent: {command.strip()}")

def wait_for_response(ser, expected_response):
    start_time = time.time()
    response = ""
    while time.time() - start_time < 2:
        if ser.in_waiting > 0:
            response = ser.readline().decode().strip()
            print(f"Received: {response}")
            if expected_response in response:
                return response
    return None

def start_ble_serial(mac_address):
    command = ['ble-serial', '-d', mac_address]
    process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
    return process

def connect_serial(port):
    ser = serial.Serial(port, 9600, timeout=None)
    return ser

def main():
    mac_address = 'D4:36:39:8C:B9:43'
    if os.name == 'nt':  # Windows
        virtual_port = 'COM9'
    else:  # Linux
        virtual_port = '/tmp/ttyBLE'

    ble_process = start_ble_serial(mac_address)
    time.sleep(6)  # Allow time for the connection to establish

    try:
        ser = connect_serial(virtual_port)
        print("Connected to", virtual_port)
        send_command(ser, 'CHECK_CONNECTION\r\n')
        response = wait_for_response(ser, 'OK')
        if response:
            print("Robot is connected.")
        else:
            print("No response from robot.")

        while True:
            command = input("Enter a command: ")
            if command.lower() == 'exit':
                break

            send_command(ser, command)
            response = wait_for_response(ser, 'OK')
            if response:
                print("Command executed successfully.")
            else:
                print("No response from robot.")

    finally:
        ser.close()
        ble_process.terminate()
        ble_process.wait()
        print("BLE serial connection closed.")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

This is the result i get:

> python .\pc_controller.py
Connected to COM9
Sent: CHECK_CONNECTION
Received: OK
Robot is connected.
Enter a command: foo
Sent: foo
No response from robot.

Hi @Wocck, your parameters look correct and it's indeed weird that bleak throws after obviously sending the string. Few ideas:
