Posted at 2017-04-25 by @gfwilliams Which IDE are you using? Are you using the normal 'web IDE' that you've used with serial devices before, or are you using the 'Native IDE' from http://www.espruino.com/Web+IDE#as-a-native-application ? Unfortunately until Google adds Web Bluetooth support for Chrome on Windows you have to use the Native version. The COM port stuff is a red herring - The Bluetooth LE UART never appears as a Windows COM port, so you won't see (or be able to connect) to it via the built-in windows COM port menus. |

Posted at 2017-04-25 by JackJamesHoward ahh. I was using the IDE from the Chrome webstore. When I was reading about issues with the IDE on Chrome via Web Bluetooth I thought it meant this IDE https://www.espruino.com/ide/. |

Posted at 2017-04-25 by @gfwilliams That'd be it then! It's frustrating - originally I'd hoped that Web Bluetooth for windows would have been done by Christmas, but it seems to have got quite delayed! 'portably'? You can extract the files and run them without installation if that helps? Your other option is to try the Web IDE relay - info here: http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/300770/ |

Posted at 2017-04-25 by JackJamesHoward Thank you, I just unpacked the file using 7 zip onto my USB instead of using the installer. |

Posted at 2017-04-25 by @gfwilliams Great! That's good to know! Seems like a crazy kind of protection that doesn't let you install anything but allows you to run arbitrary executables! |

Posted at 2017-04-25 by JackJamesHoward Yes, it's crazy. To be honest, I should know better than to run something admin hasn't installed, but hey. |

Posted at 2017-04-25 by @gfwilliams You can You then get a console window to Espruino, but every time you write to the js file it'll auto-upload to Espruino. I'm afraid an Atom plugin's just too much effort for me, especially as trying to get 'native' JS modules (like are needed for serial and BLE) running under Electron is a nightmare, and I don't think many people would get far with it. |

Posted at 2017-04-26 by @gfwilliams I'm afraid that's not going to be possible to do directly right now - since the BLE UART support isn't built into the OS, you'd need some other application to make the connection and send the data. Do you know how to use Node.js to write software for your PC? That could be a good option - if you use the |

So I've read through as many posts as I could before asking this but I cannot connect via windows 10.
I am not using a Bluetooth dongle, I am using the built-in Bluetooth 4.2.
I am able to communicate with the puck via the nrf and adafruit apps.
Am I missing a step?
