Not seeing console messages when pushing puck.js button

[jsolderitsch]

puck-remote installs for me (Mac OS X Mojave) but running node index.js does not log battery values like the github page says it should.

I did npm install and see the warning:

npm WARN puck-remote@1.0.0 No repository field.
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: bluetooth-hci-socket@0.5.1 (node_modules/bluetooth-hci-socket):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for bluetooth-hci-socket@0.5.1: wanted {"os":"linux,android,win32","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"darwin","arch":"x64"})

Running on my Mac, not a Raspberry Pi.

I did disconnect from the espruino web ide after deploying the sketch.

Using node v8.15.0 because npm install reported a build failure otherwise. I am using nvm to manage node.js installs.

The LEDs glow the right colors after the button pushes (1, 2, 3) but no advertisement messages appear in the console.

I came back to my puck.js, re-deployed the sketch, disconnected and ran node index.js. Now the LEDs no longer illuminate. Could I have a low battery already?

I think I did not wait long enough for the sketch to be uploaded. Tried again, waited until I see the SENT message in the Web IDE. Then I disconnected from the Web IDE, and tried to run index.js again. Get the colors again with the switch presses but no advertisement messages.

I am using 2v01 firmware on the Puck in case that matters.

I'm not an expert on the Puck. I got this working on the Pi. I simply can't remember if I ever tried it on my Mac, so I can't give any particular guidance until I have some spare time to dig it out and try. That isn't going to be for a while as I'm on vacation.

Thanks for the update. I will try on my Pi and then see if I have the same experience there. I will have to perhaps add some bluetooth support to the Pi with apt-get installs? Enjoy your vacation -- didn't mean to interrupt. Jim On Feb 19, 2019, at 5:10 PM, knolleary <notifications@github.com<mailto:notifications@github.com>> wrote: I'm not an expert on the Puck.

Turns out that noble is broken for Mac running the latest OS X Mojave. There are open issues reported in the githib project.

But there is a parallel project noble-mac:

https://github.com/Timeular/noble-mac

and if you make the dependency for this project be noble-mac instead of noble then things mostly work.

I also tried this on my Pi using a fresh install of Raspbian Stretch and the original code works there.
