How connect to Puck.js on Windows 10 Desktop with Creators Update?

Hi Gordon,

I did what you suggested, and it worked! Could connect to the Puck, and enter "1-2" on the left pane, and it replied "=-1"! Yeah!
Then I disconnected for the moment and had a look at the console log.

This is the log, from starting at "Found UART device":

There still seems to be a little problem with the serial port implementation, but nothing bad.

But then I wanted to connect again, and this time it failed.
And since then, it always failed. I could only connect once, never again.
I restarted the Web IDE, cleared the Puck's data again, reprogrammed the Puck with 1v94 and then with 1v95.153, cleared again, even restarted my PC, but nothing helps.
Connecting always results in

Noble: Starting scan

Perhaps you have one more idea?

At the time when connection worked, I fidgeted with a freshly unboxed raspi 3 - perhaps I should just place it on the table next to my keyboard and the reluctant Puck ...

Best regards,

Edit:
well, now I could connect once again!
Just cannot figure why it works this time. Perhaps waiting a while not doing anything, then trying to connect, gives a better chance?
