Can’t write to BLE characteristic on Quectel MC60 BT

I am trying to communicate to a BT Pulsioxymeter from my board with an Atmel SAML21 and a Quectel MC60 BT.

So far I can connect to the device with its address, I can enumerate its services and I find one characteristic in it, but when I try to write to that characteristic, the AT Command returns an error (AT+QBTGATCWC → +CME ERROR: 3518).

Previously I encountered this same CME ERROR when I had a mistake on other commands e.g. AT+QBTGATCCON with wrong BLE address, but now I can’t find any mistake.

I attach an image of the scanned BLE device.

Here is the log of the AT-Commands:

AT+QBTGATCCON=1,"B001",1681EFC323DB,1

+QBTGATCCON: 1,0,"B001",1681EFC323DB,1

+CME ERROR: 3518

Here an analysis of the AT+QBTGATCWC according to the example and definition in the Quectel_MC60_BLE_AT_Commands_Manual_V1.2.pdf:

AT+QBTGATCWC="B001",			1,				1,					"3923CF407316429A5C417E7DC49A8314",	0,						1,								"A3E1260AEE9AE9BBB0490BEBE7AC008B",	0,					"hola",		0
AT+QBTGATCWC=“B001”,			1,				1,					“1234”,								0,						1,								“C002”,								0,					“2222”,		0
AT+QBTGATCWC=“<gclient_id>”,	<conn_id>,		<write_type>,		“<service_uuid>”,					<service_inst>,			<service_is_primary>,			“<char_uuid>”,						<char_inst>,		“<value>”,	<auth_req>

Thanks in advance,

Solved. The problem was the field “” of AT+QBTGATCWC command must be an HEX string. The documentation of the command does not say anything about that (“ The value of the characteristic”), but +CME ERROR: 3518 seems to mean “Invalid parameter” and we figured it out.

This command worked properly:
AT+QBTGATCWC="B001",1,1,"3923CF407316429A5C417E7DC49A8314",0,1,"A3E1260AEE9AE9BBB0490BEBE7AC008B",0,"2222",0

Hope it helps somebody.
