Set characteristic reads to be uncached by default #49

Closed acstacey closed 6 years ago

acstacey commented 6 years ago

Resolves #48 Cached reads may be desirable in some situations but I was unable to find a way to force a cache update. This is an issue while polling sensors.

@jasongin : what are you thoughts on this one?

jasongin commented 6 years ago

I don't really know... probably it should behave the same as noble on other platforms. Are characteristic reads normally uncached then?

ghost commented 6 years ago

pretty sure!. I'm not sure if any of the read() are cached, whether that be from handle values or characteristics. I must be shortsighted though, there must be some benefit of caching reads otherwise the method wouldn't exist.

Yeah this seems like the right thing, if some applications actually want caching then they can manage that at a higher layer.
