-Do not expect that this works for you. I have personally tried multiple Desktop computers and Laptops with Bluetooth dongles and inbuilt Bluetooth on Windows and Linux and it worked only repeatable und reliable on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with inbuilt Bluetooth. With all other platforms and OS combinations it sometimes worked on the first connection, but subsequent connections were not possible, even after doiung more occult stuff as deleting devices in Chrome Bluetooth settings.+Do not expect that this works for you.

 This mess is so gigantic that DDL decided to ditch Web Bluetooth for Escape Pod and instead relying on the Bluetooth that comes with a RasPi 4 for connecting to the robots. This mess is so gigantic that DDL decided to ditch Web Bluetooth for Escape Pod and instead relying on the Bluetooth that comes with a RasPi 4 for connecting to the robots.

 Because of that I would expect for the future that DDL will make the use of a RasPi 4 for flashing an OSKR OTA onto the robot mandatory, since the possible combinations of platforms, OSes and Bluetooth devices will make it nearly impossible for them to write code that will work on all of them. That is most probably also the cause why they do not offer Escape Pod for other Linux flavours or for Windows. Or to say it short: DDL bit off more than they can chew and thus search for easy ways around that (easy ways for them, not for the users). Because of that I would expect for the future that DDL will make the use of a RasPi 4 for flashing an OSKR OTA onto the robot mandatory, since the possible combinations of platforms, OSes and Bluetooth devices will make it nearly impossible for them to write code that will work on all of them.
