I have followed the start instructions for Mac. The puck is working as verified by using the app nRF Connect which sees it on my iPhone. I have Chrome 55 with the Web Bluetooth (chrome://flags/#enable-web-bluetoothBluetooth enabled I have relaunched Chrome.

I am not clear what I do next. How to I see the puck? It does not appear as a device in Bluetooth devices. Should it. What do I need to do now?

Open the Espruino IDE in your browser (https://www.espruino.com/ide/#). Then hit the orange icon in the top left corner. A bluetooth menu will pop up from which you can select the Puck. You then be connected, and you can start sending Javascript to it!

It's also worth noting that the Puck can only be connected to one device at a time - so you'll need to make sure that the 'nRF connect' app is disconnected on your iPhone or you won't be able to see it on your Mac.

edit: also, moving this to the Puck.js part of the forum

Wow. That worked. I sent the code and the puck is flashing a red LED. Thanks very much. Any pointers to any code I can throw at it. Will it monitor temperature or do I have to solder on a sensor

Great! It does have a temperature sensor in it - there are some examples of how to access the various sensors here: http://www.espruino.com/Puck.js

On that page there are a few tutorials, but I'll be trying to add a whole bunch more there this week

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
