Hi,
I got a Puck.js and a "CSR 4.0" Bluetooth USB adapter for my desktop PC a few days ago.
Firstly I updated the Puck.js to firmware 1v95 with my android tabled, which worked well.
Then I installed the native Web IDE.
Since then, I have been trying to discover and pair the Puck.js with my desktop PC, but without luck.
The PC has Windows 10 v. 1703 (Creators Update).
The CSR dongle uses native Windows drivers, which were automatically installed when first inserting it. Searching for driver update MS says everything is up to date.
Windows PC Bluetooth recognizes my tablet when I switch Bluetooth on there, but it does not see the Puck.js and also no other BLE HID devices that can bee seen with the tablet.
Deinstalling/reinstalling dongle and drivers did not change anything, I even tried installation of CSR Harmony stack, which only led to error messages when tring to enable Bluetooth. So I deinstalled it and after reinserting the dongle native windows drivers were there again.
The Creators Update seems to be notorious for problems with BLE, as I found many discussions on internet about suddenly invisible/unusable peripheral devices after update to v.1703.
So my question to other Puck.js developers on Windows 10 with Creators Update:
How do you still connect to your Puck. js?
Do you use a different dongle (Broadcom?) Or what does the trick for you?
