Expected behavior for devices with running scripts

[jakobrosenberg]

For a device that's running the LED example:

• What is the expected behavior when I connect (lightning icon) to it in Pymakr?
• What is the expected behavior if I hard reset the device from Pymakr (this starts the scripts) and then click the "open terminal" icon?

LED Example

import pycom
import time

pycom.heartbeat(False)

while True:
    pycom.rgbled(0xFF0000)  # Red
    time.sleep(1)
    pycom.rgbled(0x00FF00)  # Green
    time.sleep(1)
    pycom.rgbled(0x0000FF)  # Blue
    time.sleep(1)

IMO by default:

• connecting to the device should not interrupt a running script on the repl. ( ie do not send Ctrl-C , Ctrl-C)
  Expected: the leds to continue to blink

  • I do think it makes sense to have a per project/device option to enable such an interrupt

• after a hard reset (how is this implemented, machine.reset() or Ctrl-D ?) ,

  • for a serial connection: I expect the connection to continue, and the terminal/repl to resume the same state that it was
  • for a network connection: nice to have: try to re-establish the network connection ( up to a timeout)

TLDR: Expected: the leds to continue to blink
