Hi @user110429 and welcome to the world of Espruino and your choice using Puck.js

'Is there any available code for that?'

Hey, thanks for these links. So I've used the code found on this link for counting button presses.

It works! but when I tried to run it on another code editor like visual studio code (or via GitHub) it wouldn't work on my web page, any ideas why that's happening?

Does the web page example from last link in post #2 work from a BLE compliant browser?
it is really cool when it does!! ;-)

Follow instructions there carefully. Must be https: so should have run from GitHub. I remember a user many months ago that had to wait a half hour after setting up their personal GitHub Pages account. Could that be it?
