class GATTSCharacteristic - constraints of characteristic.value([value])

[lcgeldenhuys]

Hi,

I understand that characteristic.value() can take an integer, a string or a bytes object. What are the bounds / size constraints?

It looks like when the bytes object has more than 3 bytes, the WiPy does a core dump when the client attempts a read of the characteristic. See below - the characteristic value auto increments, and can be read successfully. However, as soon as the value is carrying 4 bytes, the read from the client causes a core dump.

Read request, returning value = b'228'
Read request, returning value = b'235'
