Hi Gordon,
I don't want to hijack a thread. I create a new one with your statement:
"One other thing that could be an issue is that if you have Espruino powered from a computer, the computer connects to it via USB but stops reading data after a few characters have been sent. This means that if you're using print/console.log then after a while Espruino will stop working as it's waiting for the computer to read the data it's printing. If you either run a terminal app, or connect Espruino to a USB power supply, it'll be fine though."
Is this proven ? If yes that's very vey important to know and should be included in the documentation of console.log.
Is this also true in general for all uarts? Lets say a serial device (LCD or transmission module) crashes or disconnects. Is it then a question of time that espruino crashes too, because of buffering and waiting?
I do not know of such a behavior on the arduino side.
For me it looks like a trap that should be considered as a bug.
