I've been struggling with some basic attempts to connect to a "KuLight" (BT 4.0 RGB LED light from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332254514323)

Any attempt at connecting seems to kill the console connection to the PC. The IDE prompt hangs until I hit Enter a few times and often prints out "<- Serial1" or "ERROR: Prompt not detected - upload failed. Trying to recover"

This is with code as simple as:
```
NRF.connect("e1:fb:c1:6b:81:6f").then(function(gat) {
  console.log("Gat: " + gat);
}).catch(function(e) {
      console.log( "catch caught an error!");
      console.log( "error:", e );
});
```
Tried on 1v92. 1v93 and master.

I have no issues communicating with the light using either its own ColorfulLight App or nRF Toolbox.

This is on standalone IDE on Windows 10. New battery etc.

Do I need to setup a hardwired serial connection to Puck to really get to the bottom of it?

Feels like I'm missing something very obvious.
