Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

I've given my best mate a spare Espruino Pico to play with. He's a FreeBSD user.
Anyway, apparently, in the Web IDE the popup to select serial port is just stuck there saying "Loading..." (or similar; not sure) and not displaying a list of choices. I tried doing the symlink trick of
cd /dev; sudo ln -s ttyU0 ttyACM0just in case it was a pattern recognition thing, but no luck.Connecting via
screen /dev/ttyU0 9600works to some extent, but the most recent character is not echoed; if you were to typehello,hellwould appear. If you then typed!, theowould appear, but not the!.I expect this is more to do with issues with FreeBSD's serial driver, the version of
screeninstalled, and Chrome's serial code, than it is to do with Espruino per se, but on the off-chance that someone's used FreeBSD with the standard Espruino setup, I thought I'd ask on his behalf before we investigate much further.
