Hey guys,

Is it possible to load existing code from the device into the Web IDE? I just got started with my Puck.js but as I am writing the code on different devices I have to keep track of the code outside of the IDE to make sure that I always have the latest version before sending it to the device.

Best regards,
Dominik

Yes, you can just type dump() on the left-hand side - you'll have to copy/paste it over to the right but it's not too hard.

Only thing to note is that it's trying to reconstruct your code from the internal state of the interpreter, so some things in the global scope won't be right because Espruino only has the result of executing the code - not the original code. For instance var a=1+2 will have turned into var a=3
