Issues with espruino+puck on old MacBookPro

Posted on
  • Hi,

    I have an old MBP (mid 2010), running MacOS 10.12.2. No native support for web bluetooth, but I got a USB dongle. This allows the Espruino IDE (running in Chrome) to display Web Bluetooth as an option when clicking on the top left Connect / Disconnect button.

    The Puck shows up on the list of devices to pair with, but when clicking "Pair" it just remains in the same state: the "select a port" window displays the text "connecting" and the lower-left status bar displays "connecting to puck.js ####" (I've tried it with 2 pucks, always with the same results).

    Here are the last few lines on the console:

    Connecting...
    Set Slow Write = true
    Connecting to Puck.js 99f2
    BT> Device Name: Puck.js 99f2
    BT> Device ID: 6JLLdy4+yfbKuRbcKwaRNw==
    (it stops here)

    Any clue about what's going on?

    Thanks!

  • Do you mind sharing logs (both chrome and MacOS)?

  • Hi François,

    I'm attaching both logs. Thanks for looking into this!

  • Hi François,

    I've tried pairing on that page and it can detect the puck.js just fine, it just won't connect to it...

    Output:
    Requesting Bluetooth Device...
    Connecting to Bluetooth Device...
    (nothing happens after this)

    Also, I've also tested the "Low Energy Devices" option in the Bluetooth Explorer app: the Puck.js shows up there, but, again, it does not connect.

    Sadly, it looks like it has nothing to do with the Espruino IDE. It looks like it might be related to either the Bluetooth dongle or MacOs?... :(

    Thanks for your help!

    Luis
