I tried to update over Web IDE but it failed. After soft reset there is no red light now, with button pressed there is green and then green and blue. I can't connect from nRF app or Web IDE.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Adam,

Please can you try updating using the nRF connect Android or iOS app?http://www.espruino.com/Puck.js#firmware-updates

That'll likely be able to connect and will fix the problems.

What Operating System were you running the Web IDE from?

Web IDE in Windows10 Chrome. I tried nRF iOS and it can see the device as DfuTarg when the green light is on but then fails to update (connection timeout in log)

Hi, Is this a new Puck.js you just got? Does the green light look bright, or dim?

It's possible the battery is flat, and that it fails halfway through the update process.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
