  • Sorry for the confusion:

    So to make it clear:
    1) WebIDE on my laptop works in the sense that it can load properly. BUT I can't connect because the built-in bluetooth in my laptop doesn't not support BLE and the BT dongle doesn't work.
    2) The WebIDE on my phone using Chrome works; I can connect to the Pixl, but it's not comfortable to work with
    3) But: the relay page that used to work before on my phone doesn't work either on my phone and my laptop (just shows this empty page)

    @Robin

    I had to play with Settings >> Add Device (and remove - (un)pair) many times also.

    Strange thing is: the dongle (it's a TP Link UB400) is working fine with my desktop PC. But I just found no way to get it to work on my old HP 8440p yet. I guess this is a problem with USB ports/chipset. The dongle is connected and Chrome shows it in the chrome://bluetooth-internals page and in there also finds the Pixl. But then in the WebIDE popup it finds nothing (doesn't even seem to begin to search)
    -> hence, I tried to use the relay that doesn't work :(

    As @MaBe found out I guess this is a real issue with the page itself

    at Object.addIcon (app.js:376)

    Maybe this related to the changes that @Gordon made to the WebIDE by adding the storage icon?

    'But then in the WebIDE popup it finds nothing'

    @Raik, What version of the WebIDE is in use? (e.g. is it the latest)

    seen on left hand panel on launch or WebIDE >> Settings >> About

    Is it the version downloaded from the Chrome store or the native app launched from the Win10 Start menu?



    Have you tried removing the 'pairing' and then re-adding Bluetooth devices?

    Win10 >> Settings >> Devices >> Bluetooth and Other devices >> Add a device

    I spent a good hour trying to find a method that worked, in order to get the WebIDE to see the newly detected devices. Remove all Espruino devices. Then Add to get Windows to reset the mess. This pain started after the last Windows10 update.

    P.S. I also have a three year old HP Nootebook laptop with a 4v1 BLE dongle
