Problems connecting to Windows 7 desktop

Ok - thanks. That's perfect!

So... good news and bad news. The bad news is that it doesn't recognise your BLE adaptor - I mentioned before that it has to talk directly to the adaptor, and it doesn't recognise that one as one it can talk to.

I'd be pretty sure that a CSR-based adaptor would work though (once Zadig is run).

However, if you're happy to do a little poking around I think it can be fixed with your current adaptor.

• If you look in Program Files/EspruinoIDE there should be a file called package.nw
  
• Rename it to package.zip and unzip it into that directory (so not into a subdirectory called package)
  
• If you run the IDE it should still work
  
• Open the file node_modules/bluetooth-hci-socket/lib/us­b.js in the EspruinoIDE directory
  

• Find the line that says:

  this._usbDevice = usb.findByIds(0x0a5c, 0x21e8) || usb.findByIds(0x19ff, 0x0239) || usb.findByIds(0x0a12, 0x0001) || usb.findByIds(0x0b05, 0x17cb) || usb.findByIds(0x8087, 0x07dc);
  

and replace it with:

    this._usbDevice = 
      usb.findByIds(0x0CF3,0xE300) || // Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 
      usb.findByIds(0x0a5c, 0x21e8) || // Broadcom BCM20702A0
      usb.findByIds(0x0a5c, 0x21ec) || // Broadcom BCM20702A0
      usb.findByIds(0x19ff, 0x0239) || // Broadcom BCM20702A0
      usb.findByIds(0x0a12, 0x0001) || // CSR
      usb.findByIds(0x0b05, 0x17cb) || // ASUS BT400
      usb.findByIds(0x8087, 0x07dc) || // Intel 7260
      usb.findByIds(0x0489, 0xe07a);   // Broadcom BCM20702A1

And if you run it now it should start working (hopefully!).
