Great, thanks!

Out of interest, does this work on Android 4+5 devices too? I've found Web Bluetooth doesn't work on Android 4, and Chromium (which is needed for Android 5) is sometimes a bit sketchy on it

Hi Gordon,

It should work for Android 4.3 (JellyBean) devices and onwards and should not require any updates to Chromium since it uses native SDK calls (not Web Bluetooth)

Sounds great - thanks! If you wanted to do some kind of intro video or tutorial I'd be happy to stick it in the site.

Wow - this is great and simple

Testing with a Huawei P8 lite with Android version 5.0.1 and using the build in WebIDE for coding and starting the scripts over a notebook browser, check screenshot.

Sadly this is not working on my Samsung Galaxy 4 Ace (Model SM-G357F) which runs Android 4.4.4. This phone runs some Android apps that must use similar functions eg. nRF Uart and Bluefruit LE but I have encountered issues that prevent me using nRF Toolbox and some other BLE related apps. I will however mention on the droidscript forum too.

This is great for whipping up a quick GUI on your phone to control something on the Puck. Here are two very simple examples that don't need any special code on the Puck to work.

app.LoadPlugin( "PuckJS" );

function OnStart()
{
  lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "VCenter,FillXY" );
  btn1 = app.CreateToggle( "LED1" );
  btn2 = app.CreateToggle( "LED2" );
  btn3 = app.CreateToggle( "LED3" );
  btn1.SetOnTouch( btn1_OnTouch );
  btn2.SetOnTouch( btn2_OnTouch );
  btn3.SetOnTouch( btn3_OnTouch );
  lay.AddChild( btn1 );
  lay.AddChild( btn2 );
  lay.AddChild( btn3 );
  app.AddLayout( lay );

  puck = app.CreatePuckJS();
 // puck.Scan( "Puck" );
 puck.Connect('AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF');
}

function btn1_OnTouch( isChecked )
{
  puck.SetLED( 1, isChecked );
}
function btn2_OnTouch( isChecked )
{
  puck.SetLED( 2, isChecked );
}
function btn3_OnTouch( isChecked )
{
  puck.SetLED( 3, isChecked );
}

app.LoadPlugin( "PuckJS" );
var on= false;
var intr;
function OnStart()
{
  lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "VCenter,FillXY" );
  btn1 = app.CreateToggle( "LED1" );
  btn1.SetOnTouch( btn1_OnTouch );
  lay.AddChild( btn1 );
  app.AddLayout( lay );
  puck = app.CreatePuckJS();
  puck.Connect('AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF');
}

function btn1_OnTouch( isChecked )
{
  if (isChecked) {
   intr= setInterval('on=!on;puck.SetLED(1, on)', 500);
  }
 else {
    clearInterval(intr);
    puck.SetLED(1, false);
  }
}
