    Gordon,
    Will try U17.04
    In the meantime, the Console Tab shows the following:

    Hi Gordon,
    I am keen to avoid using a phone but that does look like a neat solution.
    Setting those environment variables in a CMD prompt did not change anything.
    I noticed a slight discrepancy
    you quoted BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_USB_PID=0x21e8 but Zadig shows a slightly different address so I also tried PID=0x21e6 both as an environment variable and in USB.js. But still no joy.
    Two qns: does your IDE report back if no compatible adaptors are found like node-Bluetooth-hci-socket code does?

    79 if (!this._usbDevice) { 80 throw new Error('No compatible
    USB Bluetooth 4.0 device found!'); 81 }

    Are you aware of any Live CDs that are likely to work with BLE with minimal config? I figure this might help prove the capabilities of the device.

    lets try again. Three PNG files attached relating to the above post.

    Hi all,
    Are there any updates to the above issues?
    basically I’m having similar difficulty connecting a puck to my Windows 7 desktop with its inbuilt Broadcom Bluetooth adaptor.
    I have downloaded what I think is the native Espruino IDE and have used the Zadig tool as shown below but when I click Connect I am not finding any devices.
    I have also tried editing the usb.js file as suggested but no change noticed.
    See below for screenshots:
    Am I trying to achieve the impossible with Windows 7?

    I have an idea to use two Puck.js devices as a rudimentary remote temperature monitoring system.
    The two pucks would be located within about 4 metres of each other. The sensor puck will not be easily accessible once installed but the monitoring puck will obviously need to be visible. Precision is not important in this application but I envisage some form of regular heartbeat to provide reassurance that the sensor puck and the monitoring puck are working and a red flash when the measured temperature is above a set level.

    Has anyone already done anything similar that they would be happy to share?

    Tnx

    Ah! Tnx. After several failures this did install on my Samsung handset running Android 4.4.4. I have the puck.js extn installed too but I have not yet been able to connect to a puck.js.

    mmm could find the puck extension but not the main app.

    Nice graph - says it all:-)
    I have to say that the three pucks I have currently tested are only consistent to within +- 3 degrees of each other at best. This is worse that I was expecting so I will be investing use of a DS18B20 when I find some time to do this. I was wondering whether this might be due to small differences in the config of each. Eg one may not have had its firmware updated yet. One may have had other code loaded previously.
