Macintosh M3 silicon not connecting to Bangle.js2

With an older Apple computer, Bluetooth connection was no problem. The watch showed up and I could pair with it. Now trying to connect the watch to a new Macintosh M3, I get "Connected to Web Serial, webserial:0 (No response from board)," then "Prompt not detected - upload failed. Trying to recover..," which doesn't do anything. So I can't upload anything into the watch, it seems.

The Bangle troubleshooting page is incomprehensible to me. Suggestions how to reconnect would be appreciated.

I have solved the problem by re-establishing a Bluetooth connection (not obvious to me). Although I see no way to delete this conversation, consider it deleted.

As they say, "Thanks for reading."

Hi - if you're getting Connected to Web Serial it'd likely be because you clicked the Web Serial button and not Web Bluetooth after you initially went to connect in the IDE.

Web Serial is for connecting to USB devices - glad you got this sorted though! It's probably good to leave up in case anyone has similar issues
