watching advertisements not working chrome

Hello,
using this code from https://www.espruino.com/BLE+Advertising
var presses = 0;
NRF.setAdvertising({},{manufacturer: 0x0590, manufacturerData:[presses]});

setWatch(function() {
presses++;
NRF.setAdvertising({},{manufacturer: 0x0590, manufacturerData:[presses]});
}, BTN, {edge:"rising", repeat:1, debounce:20})

I am trying to see the presses on https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/web-bluetooth/watch-advertisements.html

but I can't see the manufacturer data coming in ? Any idea what could be changed to make it work ?

thank you!

Most probably you need to fix Chrome :-)

I just tried it in latest Chrome on Windows 11 and don't see it either. No manufacturerData output in that example even if I double checked from phone that the data is really there.

The page even says " It is currently partially implemented in Android M, Chrome OS, Mac, and Windows 10." No Linux there BTW

Yes, I'm not sure quite where this sits on Linux.

It'd be worth trying it on an Android phone and seeing if you have more success - you may also need to enable it via chrome://flags
