Re: handling multiple BT adapters,

We've started to think about how to proceed at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=635111

In the mean time, as suggested by @Gordon, I would simply make hci1 default for now with the select command from bluetoothctl and restart Chrome. Hopefully this will help:

$ bluetoothctl 
[NEW] Controller 12:34:56:12:34:56 Foo [default]
[NEW] Controller 12:34:56:12:34:57 Bar
[bluetooth]# list
Controller 12:34:56:12:34:56 Foo [default]
Controller 12:34:56:12:34:57 Bar
[bluetooth]# select 12:34:56:12:34:57 
[bluetooth]# list
Controller 12:34:56:12:34:56 Foo
Controller 12:34:56:12:34:57 Bar [default]

Yeah.. I did that.. I even managed to connect to the PuckJS using bluetoothctl.

[bluetooth]# devices
Device F8:37:BB:11:74:A7 Puck.js 74a7
[bluetooth]# connect F8:37:BB:11:74:A7
Attempting to connect to F8:37:BB:11:74:A7
[CHG] Device F8:37:BB:11:74:A7 Connected: yes
Connection successful

Sadly, Chrome like the braindead piece of software it is does not see that there is a device already connected to the default device and continues to try and probe hci0 and seeing nothing.

I have tried building the IDE from git and got a little further by just removing the requirement of winnus from the package.json file.

it 'installed' fine. But when I do npm start

npm start

espruino-web-ide@0.65.11 start /home/user/devel/git/EspruinoWebIDE
 nw .


  Usage: nw-gyp <command> [options]

  where <command> is one of:
    - build - Invokes `make` and builds the module
    - clean - Removes any generated build files and the "out" dir
    - configure - Generates a Makefile for the current module
    - rebuild - Runs "clean", "configure" and "build" all at once
    - install - Install node development files for the specified node version.
    - list - Prints a listing of the currently installed node development files
    - remove - Removes the node development files for the specified version

nw-gyp@3.4.0  /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nw-gyp
node@4.6.1

However, now I have some sort of weird incompatibility with node-gyp and whatever build file it uses.

nw configure .
gyp info it worked if it ends with ok

To be honest I would feel happier if I was trying to debug a C++ program because nodejs gives me a headache.
