Posted at 2018-02-09 by @gfwilliams I have - unfortunately last time I checked they hadn't got 'notifications' working, so no data could be read back from Puck.js. You could connect, could write code on the right-hand side of the IDE and upload, but couldn't see any responses. I did tell them about it, so hopefully it's something they'll fix soonish. |

Posted at 2018-02-09 by @gfwilliams Yes - sorry about that. When Google themselves posted it worked I just posted it up immediately before I'd had a chance to check. I should have updated this post! |

Posted at 2018-04-04 by @gfwilliams Not apart from what's on Google's bug tracker - maybe bug them there and see if it helps? WebBluetoothCG/web-bluetooth#387 |

Posted at 2018-08-29 by @gfwilliams Web Bluetooth now works in Windows! You need 'Chrome Canary' (the absolute latest version) at the moment, but I think when version 70 hits chrome stable in a month or so we'll finally be sorted! |

Google just posted this:

Web Bluetooth support good enough for Puck.js has just landed in Chrome Canary (the beta version of Chrome). This is awesome news - and hopefully will go a long way towards making windows' users lives much easier!
edit: As of July 2018 notifications are still not working - so you can send data to Puck.js but can't receive anything. It seems that Google are still working on web bluetooth for Windows, but are rewriting it from scratch to allow it to work as it does on other platforms (without requiring pairing) - it's taking them a while so until that gets finished we're stuck with the current (extremely partial) Web Bluetooth on windows.
