Possible upstream issues with noble causing No compatible USB Bluetooth 4.0 device found!

http://forum.espruino.com/comments/13473028/ for some background. Possible problems with noble https://github.com/sandeepmistry/noble/issues/553

Installation: Windows 10 with Zadig giving No compatible USB Bluetooth 4.0 device found! with github clone (and in the IDE console and in downloaded Native)

using C:\nwjs\nwjs-sdk-v0.20.1-win-x64 (there may be a need to debug …)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoWebI­DE.git
npm install

Edit EspruinoWebIDE log: going for EspruinoTools tests

We have chrome.serial - not using 'serialport' module
'noble' module couldn't be loaded, no node.js Bluetooth Low Energy  Error: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. \\?

Edit

EspruinoTools does not “see” ble at the moment

EspruinoWebIDE still giving same error: dive into nw.js ???

We have chrome.serial - not using 'serialport' module
'noble' module couldn't be loaded, no node.js Bluetooth Low Energy  Error: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. \\?

Edit: My only point of reference at this time is http://docs.nwjs.io/en/latest/For Users/Debugging with DevTools/

Edit Doesn’t work: possible disablement enablement needed

Open Developer Tools DevTools can be opened with keyboard shortcut F12 on Windows and Linux or ⌘+⌥+i on Mac.

Edit: Guessing …

OK: I now have a Windows 10 Zandig Installation with nw.js SDK and can debug under suggestions as to what to do. ie: that is about as far as I go just now until I get some good idea as to what to do next

Edit: OK: one doesn’t learn anything by sitting around: diving into https://github.com/tessel/node-usb

And a lot of other lovly, lovly stuff that ended me here: https://github.com/tessel/node-usb/issues/109

[gfwilliams]

When building the USB lib in Windows 10 I actually modified the windows header file - just seemed easier. After that the build works first time 😃

I’m open to PRs that would trap certain errors and report them in a more helpful way…

[OwenBrotherwood]

Building EspruinoWebIDE from github: Windows 10 and puck.js ONLY (USB support problems) Download:

• node 7.5.0
• nw.js (sdk is best) for same node version, currently 0.20.2
• python 2.7.x (currently 13)
• http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools or Community visual studion 2015 (expansion of doc needed)
• git clone --recursive https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoWebIDE.git
• IGNORE ALL usb errors
• EspruinoWebIDE\node_modules\winnus>nw-gyp rebuild --target=0.20.2

And smoke a cigar PR on request for the doc README.md

I regard this as good as I can now build for puck.js windows 10 BUT BLOCKING issue for Windows 7 and usb with https://github.com/tessel/node-usb/issues/163

sandeep has a little refresh of npm as a problem for noble and bluetooth-hci-socket

Notes for next step:

The Jared Wilcurt @TheJaredWilcurt 02:30 @OwenBrotherwood https://nwjs.io/blog/ Looks like either 0.18.1 or 0.18.2 it will be somewhere around Node v6.8.1 - 7.0.0 https://nwjs.io/blog/v0.18.2/ That will be the newest version of NW.js, pre-Node 7

Which almost fits this, unknown node version, from README.md nw-gyp rebuild --target=0.18.6 --arch=x64

need to find last nw version that supports node 6.X LTS to get usb working

https://nwjs.io/blog/v0.18.2/ is the last one before 7
