serial monitor...

[glynhh]

generally speaking, this works pretty well, but for my application, I do the following a lot...

program the board,
use serial monitor
disconnect the board [without closing the terminal window]

I find that sometimes when I plug the board in again, Chromeduino2 will not reconnect, and I need to restart the app [sometimes even reboot].
I'm sure reliability would be greatly improved if the terminal was always closed before disconnecting, but rookie programmers are all about wanting to try out the code they have just programmed into their device, and often forget.

also, I always need to add a short delay after each serial print, otherwise some of the lower spec chromebooks are overwhelmed and the app hangs as soon as we open the terminal.
