Log
- Your settings and reading positions stay unless you tick "Erase everything".
- No port in the list? Unplug and replug the cable and try again. On Linux, see below first.
- Pick the right board: the page checks the chip, and updates over Wi-Fi refuse another board's file.
- Only the LilyGo T5-2.13 has been tested on hardware so far; the other boards are untested. See the project page and its docs.
Linux
- Use Chrome or Chromium. Firefox has no Web Serial, so it can't install.
- Chromium from the Snap Store (Ubuntu's default): it can't open the USB port
until you allow it once. Run this in a terminal, then close and reopen Chromium:
Or use Google Chrome from google.com/chrome (the .deb), which doesn't need this.sudo snap connect chromium:raw-usb - The port is listed but won't open ("Failed to open serial port"): your
account needs access to USB serial ports. Run this, then log out and back in:
sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER
