  In the script I posted above I just loop over the ports doing

  if (port.manufacturer === "STMicroelectronics.") {
  

  Not very clever and I know for a fact that it doesn't work on my coworker's Ubuntu install (the same board reports manufacturer as "STMicroelectronics", i.e. without the dot at the end).

  Could try some ducktyping after that I guess by sending some commands and see if the reply looks like it comes from an Espruino :)

  I mean "serialport" as in the npm module :) https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport

  I guess my real question was if https://www.npmjs.com/package/espruino would automatically find my espruino if I just plugged it in, or if I had to first figure out what port it was connected to (for example by scanning all ports with node-serialport, looking for something that looks like an espruino)

  Hmm, I'd still need serialport to do the port scanning, right?

  HTTPS?! Nice! :)

  Ohh, too bad I didn't know about this earlier.
  I ended up using the 'serialport' module directly instead...

  Thanks a lot, that seems to have fixed it :) Can't fully verify yet though, since my twitter stream node.js-server doesn't get any twitter messages any more, for some unknown reason :(

  The Pico is powered off of the USB battery, and the ESP is powered by the Pico. But I think the battery should be powerfull enough. I can't remember the exact specs, but it's at least 1A. I've used it to successfully run my RasPi before.

  Hi

  When connected to my computer everything works fine. I see the green LED flash twice. But when connected to a USB power supply the ESP8266 connect callback gets called with an error object, and the red LED is turned on. Any idea why?

  E.on('init', function() {
    SPI2.setup({baud: 3200000, mosi: B15});
    Serial1.setup(115200, { rx: B7, tx : B6 });
  
    var wifi = require("ESP8266WiFi_0v25").connect(Serial1, function(err) {
      if (err) { digitalWrite(LED1, 1); throw err; }
  
      setTimeout(function () {
        digitalWrite(LED2,0);
        setTimeout(function() { digitalWrite(LED2,1); }, 500);
        setTimeout(function() { digitalWrite(LED2,0); }, 1000);
        setTimeout(function() { digitalWrite(LED2,1); }, 1500);
        setTimeout(function() { digitalWrite(LED2,0); }, 2000);
  
        setTimeout(function() { wifiResetConnect(wifi); }, 4000);
      }, 1500);
    });
  });
  

  How do I debug this further?
