microrepl hangs my microbit #23

Closed rhubarbdog closed 1 year ago

rhubarbdog commented 1 year ago

when i have a running microbit and use serial terminal screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200 it joins a running microbit seamlessly. For some reason when i use microrepl it stops the current running program

It's designed to work that way (see: https://github.com/ntoll/microrepl/blob/master/microrepl.py#L99).

The whole point of this program is to drop you into the REPL (i.e. the Read Evaluate Print and Loop aspect of MicroPython). That's why it stops whatever is running and gets you to the Python prompt.

Closing because this is expected behaviour. But many thanks for taking the time to report this (others who may wonder, will find this useful exchange via a quick Google). Season's greetings (again). :snowman:
