Doh, I missed the --experimental bit! Working perfectly now.

I had to do some more fiddling with installing nw etc but the standalone one now runs too. However it can't see any ports. I'm playing with those setcap commands now.

Thanks for the help.

I'm trying to connect to Puck using latest Chrome and Espruino App on Ubuntu 16.10. The laptop has no problem seeing the Puck and offers it as a pair-able device both in Ubuntu itself and in the pairing pop-up in the Web IDE.

The problem is that it never actually connects, it just sits there saying "connecting". I'm not seeing anything useful in dmesg. Any other suggestions for where to look for logs etc? Bluetooth dongle seems to be using a Broadcom BCM20702A0 chip and Bluez is at 5.41

(Note I also tried installing the standalone Web IDE on Ubuntu but got an error ../cpp/winnus.cpp:10:21: fatal error: windows.h no such file or directory). This is with Node 6.10.0

Thanks!

I had same random characters on console as you when using the released v1.86 version. I got the latest build running ok with the following:

c:\python27\python ..\esptool.py --port COM15 --baud 230400 write_flash --flash_freq 40m --flash_mode dio --flash_size 32m 0x0000 "boot_v1.5.bin" 0x1000 espruino_esp8266_user1.bin 0x37E000 blank.bin

Yeah it's a pain.

Just FYI - Exact same behaviour/error as the last one above with Node 4.2.6 on Fedora 23 x86-64 in a VBox VM.

It now builds again but still no serial ports.

I also tried

sudo electron-rebuild --version 0.36.11

giving

Couldn't find electron-prebuilt and no --node-module-version parameter set, always rebuilding

I need to try on a non-RPi box to see if it's Pi or ARM specific.

No success with starting back with completely clean slate (all node_modules and .node-gyp directories deleted) and just doing npm install espruino-web-ide. Now it won't even install.

No joy with that but it may be user error. I'll try again later.

No joy with --dbg. Nothing new appeared.

But Node versioning sounds like the problem alright. I'm on 4.4.0 (Raspbian ships with 0.10.x)

This is great to see! Nearly works for me with Pico plugged into Raspberry Pi 3

Needed the following to install it:

sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
sudo npm install --unsafe-perms -g espruino-web-ide

But when I click Connect, I just get "Searching" in the ports popup. Tried with and without sudo. Also tried passing /dev/ttyACM0 as a parameter. No error printed out in terminal or inside the IDE's log.

Any ideas?

Yeah I've searched the digital edition and the only mention is this I'm afraid. Very disappointing.

Works fine for me on Windows 10, Visual Studio Community 2015 and Node 4.2.3. Happily talking to Espruino. Very useful!

Another minimal one I spotted this morning is http://dietpi.com/ - UK-based developer. Needs a 1GB card but compares very favourably to standard distro: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mDHGZC-H6tU6_O8kuLTG8d4A8Nt7lV1Q7MXTR_6qw30/edit#gid=0

Windows 10 working perfectly here. I had to install the ST VCP drivers (v1.3.1) but, since then, both normal operation and firmware update work fine. I wonder if v1.4.0 of the driver is to blame? I have some recollection of having to use the older version on Windows 8.1 too.

Great set of updates, thanks Gordon.

Sadly still no joy for me with HID on Windows (I tried Windows 7 and Windows 10, two AMD-based and one Intel-based). OSX fine.

No joy with older build and mouse code. No HID device appears. Works ok on OSX.

A full drive uninstall/delete gives the same HID error as the keyboard code.

Shows "STM32 Virtual COM Port" in the installation step when plugging in again but you don't actually get a COM port, you have to reinstall the driver fully to get that.

I'll try that in a bit. Any specific build?

I had to re-install the ST VCP driver to get the COM port back, and immediately lost the HID device from Device Manager so I strongly suspect something bad with their driver.

I've managed to make some progress on Windows. I had to uninstall/delete the ST Driver from inside Device Manager. Once I did that and unplugged/plugged the Pico, a USB HID device appeared and installed. However it does not work (This device cannot start. (Code 10) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful.)

These are the logs from Windows:

Ah good to know.

I've removed the ST drivers and rebooted the Win 8.1 PC but still no joy. Device Manager refreshes when I plug/unplug the Pico but no new entries appear in either the HID or Keyboard sections. I think the refresh is just the COM port appearing/disappearing.

Yep, confirmed that something going wrong with uploading/saving code to Espruino on my Win 8.1/Chrome 44. Working fine on OSX + Chrome 43.

But the repeated character bug is fixed. Thanks!

Changed nothing on my side. I suspect sometimes save() makes things go a bit screwy and I have to reflash the Pico to get it recognised again by Windows. Just happened twice in succession.

Hmm, updated to Chrome 44 in between things working and not working. I'll try flashing on MBP now.

Still no joy on Windows (not even appearing as a COM Port).

OSX now failing too "USBF: The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device"

yep, exactly that.

Thanks Gordon.

No behaviour change on that latest firmware.

I'll see if I have any ST drivers installed and will uninstall.

On MBP, it works fine the first time but repeats last character the second time and I have to pull the Pico to stop it.

Code here: https://gist.github.com/conoro/09c3fdf97a68d073f80f

@Gordon I'm having mixed success with the HID code here, using your simple Keyboard Hello World with the firmware from 15th July.

It doesn't work at all on Windows 8.1 64-bit. I never see any characters appear. Tried a variety of hubs and directly plugged in.

On OSX, it acted very strangely with context menus popping up randomly, until I removed the setModifiers calls. Now it works every few button presses but also sends the last character repeatedly on many attempts.

However I'm thrilled to get some code running which turns the Pico into a OTP Fob and successfully generates the same codes as Google Authenticator for one of my logins. If the USB HID code worked every time, then the Pico would be as good as a YubiKey :-)

Thanks Gordon. @DrAzzy's delay did the trick. The B13 was supposed to turn on the backlight but it's better with it off. I didn't see any difference with adding setTime(getTime()) tho. I'm on 1v71.
