Fun with Bluetooth

" summary

WebBluetooth in Chrome lets web pages negotiate Bluetooth services and characteristics, read/write byte arrays, and subscribe to notifications. Examples shown include running JavaScript on microcontrollers, controlling RGB bulbs by sending raw RGB bytes, driving a Lego racer via the Gamepad API, updating a pixel matrix, and sending tweets to a thermal receipt printer; demos actually connect but browser support is still patchy.
