Problems connecting to Windows 7 desktop

Thanks - so:

'noble' module couldn't be loaded, no node.js Bluetooth Low Energy  Error: No compatible USB Bluetooth 4.0 device found!

Is your issue, and would be related to that USB ID thing - I'm surprised it does that even when specifying the environment variables or tweaking usb.js though. Perhaps even after it connects it's unable to get it working.

If you wanted to really dive in, I'd suggest trying the current noble NPM module with one of their examples: https://www.npmjs.com/package/noble

I doubt the new one would work (because your USB ID isn't mentioned in their list), but having some totally minimal bit of code would be a good place to get started, and you could then contact the maintainers of noble and see if they have any ideas.
