The main question is can pucks "listen" to advertisements and advertise: own ID, BLE tag ID, signal strength of BLE tag.

Yes, absolutely! You can use NRF.requestDevice to scan for a device matching certain criteria (eg. advertising type) and get its RSSI, then you can use NRF.setAdvertising to update your Puck's advertising to contain the relevant data.

Links to the two functions with examples:

- http://www.espruino.com/Reference#l_NRF_setAdvertising
I'd be happy to post up some full example code for you if needed.

Hi Gordon,
thanks for your comment. A code example would be great if you can find time for that. :)
What can you recommend for getaway hardware? These look good
https://pycom.io/product/pygo1/
https://pycom.io/product/pygo2/
but are not available until at least November or something (not sure product links are allowed here, please remove if not)

And the last question where do I buy puck.js ? I'm in Germany and the only german shop listed here http://www.espruino.com/Order#puckjs does not have it anymore.
