Serial vs IDE Console

Are there any quirks about communicating over serial vs communicating with the IDE Console (Espruino Pico)? Have been struggling to get the same commands working over serial that work on left side of IDE. I am trying to use pyserial. Have tried Windows and Linux. Tried a serial communications tester as well.

Arduino serial monitor works as well as IDE console.

Maybe its my newline character?

I've been sending
```
ser.write("LED1.set()" + "/n")
```
as an example

I'm struggling to debug this as well. Any ideas on how I can debug this easily?

I think you just have the wrong slash? Instead of "/n" use "\n"

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
