No problem! The boards should be fine being connected to the same computer. All you need to care about is how you communicate with them... They'll each have a different device name (beginning with /dev/tty), so you just need to use the correct device for each one.
Finally, if you don't have any need to send data to or get it from your Espruinos, you don't even need a Mac to connect them to - just use a USB charger or a battery!
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.
Hi Connor,
No problem! The boards should be fine being connected to the same computer. All you need to care about is how you communicate with them... They'll each have a different device name (beginning with
/dev/tty
), so you just need to use the correct device for each one.The Web IDE will happily connect to each, but you can only have one Web IDE window open at a time at the moment, so you can only actually communicate with one that way. However you could use something like screen or if you're sending commands you could look at this page on controlling Espruino from code running on your mac.
Finally, if you don't have any need to send data to or get it from your Espruinos, you don't even need a Mac to connect them to - just use a USB charger or a battery!
Hope that helps!
