  Hey everyone! First post here for me. I could use some help. :)

  I just flashed my BBC micro:bit with espruino_2v06_microbit.hex (the latest "stable"), then connected in the web IDE via Bluetooth. (I'm coding on a Macbook Air, Catalina, in Chrome 84.0.4147.105.) So far so good. But when I run the even the simplest line of code, like this...

  LED1.write(true);
  

  ...I get the following error in the Espruino console:

  Uncaught ReferenceError: "LED1" is not defined

  When I refresh the web IDE and look in the Espruino console, I see this error:

  Uncaught InternalError: I2C Write Error 33281

  So I'm assuming that LED1 isn't defined because some earlier I2C error is breaking things. Any ideas for what might be going on? I also tried the "cutting edge" hex and got the same results.

  Probably unrelated, but in the Chrome JS console, I get this error when the IDE loads up:

  settingsConsole.js:40 serial_frame: getPorts timeout, disabling

  I hope I can make Espruino work on the micro:bit. Looks like a really great platform. Thanks for any advice you have.

  UPDATE:
  So, it turns out that the LED1 variable just isn't set, but other commands are working fine so far. Like the show() command and the example on the micro:bit page about buttons. So... I think it was a false alarm.

  It would be nice to report the i2C write error bug and add a feature request that the IDE should load with an example that works on the Micro:bit. I will now look for how to report those... Thanks!
