    Ok .. something definitely to do with the driver because this pops up in the logs:

    I'll chat to the bluetooth subsystem guys see if I can get a definitive answer to what is going on.

    Yeah the phone stays connected ok it seems. At least enough to upload the sketches a few times changing the LED number.

    Well this is an Intel Bluetooth module. (8087:0a2b) so should be pretty well supported. Restarting the bluetooth will show the puck again and connect but then it will drop after a while. I was repeatedly sending Puck.getBatteryPercentage() and I did that for about 11 times every 2 or so seconds. Then I got to typing the the example sketch

    var on = false;
    =false
    setInterval(function() {on =!on; LED1.write(on); }, 500);
    Press Ctrl-C again to exit

    I literally got to the last char and then pressed return and nada. It became unresponsive so I had to Cntrl-C it.

    I shall investigate if there are some tweaks for my bluetooth connection. Because it does seem whatever happened it has become worse ;)

    Thanks for the help.

    Yes I did use Google Chrome on my phone. However after a restart of my phone it seemed to work. That is I was able to connect to it using Chrome WebIDE and upload the sample sketch. Which I have not been able to do for a while now. Trouble is it is VERY fiddly trying to type anything via the phone.

    I have rebooted my laptop 'just in case'. No joy.

    Ironically enough I did just install npm install espruino there are a few slight modifications you need to use for Debian though. The package is called nodejs as is the resultant binary. Still I did run sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -fwhich nodejs) and that seemed fine. You then need to link node to nodejs ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node However espruino --list just gives me

    espruino --list

    Which does not bode well. Oddly enough it still sees the puck when scanning for it in the browser. So not sure what is going on here.

    Please could you install the cutting edge Puck.js build from here: http://www.espruino.com/binaries/travis/­master/

    Reset it like you suggested till all 3 LEDs lit but now I seem unable to connect to it via the IDE from both the laptop and the phone now!? I can connect to it via nRFTool box and this is what I get back from the limited log.

    No joy alas. Even with Chrome it does the same

    .

    For the record I am using Debian 9.0 (testing) Kernel 4.12.0-1 and bluetoothd is 5.45

    Like I say though, it is not just my laptop that seems to have problems keeping a connection my phone does too. A Samsung S7.

    Now the odd thing is that before on an older firmware I did not seem to have such problems but of course that was a few months back so hard to say what has changed.

    Anyway to debug BLE connections? I would be curious to know if it is the Puck dropping the connection or the computer.

    Thanks.

    Did the reset and seemed ok for a minute but then just disconnected again and went back to being erratic. What I find different is the fact I keep on having to hit pair with the device when it disconnects even though it is a saved connection. (you can see in the video is show it as (paired) but asks to pair again.

    Not sure what is going on here. But seems the my phone is also dropping the connection to the puck not just my laptop.

    Odd.

    Yeah.. so changed battery managed to upgrade firmware to 1.93 now though I seem unable to connect to it.

    You may be right.. Not sure. But I see the green LED looks very weak. (see video) Would be nice if there was some way to determine the battery voltage externally. Hey ho.
