  Hi Gordon,
  I think you are right to mention USB devices don't work.
  Maybe renaming this thread?

  OK, but my ACER is an older one (around 5 years) and so I think it's noticeable that the built in Intel chip works.

  Hi Robin,
  just to clarify - this I should have mentioned in my first post:
  The devices I mentioned work well in Espruino Web IDE.

  Hi @all,
  I don't know whether this thread could be useful for others but I think a list of working Bluetooth devices will be helpful for newbies.

  Although Gordon mentions some working devices at http://www.espruino.com/Quick+Start+BLE#banglejs here are my experiences:

  I own an ACER E5-771 series laptop which has a builtin Intel bluetooth device.
  Using openSUSE Leap 15.1 a lsusb gives the following output: ID 8087:07dc Intel Corp.
  This one works perfectly.

  Furthermore I ordered an external Bluetooth device from Amazon Germany. Search for "Yizhet USB nano Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter".
  This one also works perfect with Debian Buster.

  Just to clarify: The devices work well in Espruino Web IDE.

  The OS'ses I used are only examples, I think they will work with other Linux'es, too

  Regards Helge
