Hi @dan thanks for your reply. Actually not, also tried with an older VSC version (i.e. 1.25.1) but result is even worst (error: command pymakr.* not found and console doesn't start). Also downgraded Node.js to the LTS (8.12.0) but no luck. Because I'm using VSC for Python and to manage other non-pycom micropython-based boards via terminal it would be comfortable having a single IDE. Is there a particular setup known to work (firmware, VSC, Pymakr, Node.js, versions, platforms and architecture)? PS: Using Atom 1.31.1 on Win10/64 with Pymakr 1.4.4 I notice no issues, REPL responds correctly.

Hi @brossingo, Can you update the firmware on the board?

This issue is discussed on GitHub here

@Ralph See how it looks after closing the console. The statusbar is gone. [image: 1501076575948-screen-shot-2017-07-26-at-9.41.56-am-resized.png]

@fsergeys same problem here :-(

@Eric24 The debug messages at startup, before the micropython interpreter starts, are not stopped, but this is not a problem for me. No further debug messages are output once the python interpreter is started, unless the system throws an error. The startup debug messages are output at 115kbs. To stop the debug messages, my understanding is that one can compile a custom image with debug messages disabled, but I have not attempted this as they are not hampering my application.

@Ralph It seems there's a new bug. (almost) Every time I click the "Sync" button all the files get uploaded. Also I notice something that looks like a piece of checksum being printed like this: >>> Syncing project (main folder)... >>> >>> [1/12] Writing file communication.py c8474829a403c5fefb5e339b"]] [2/12] Writing file config.py [3/12] Writing file globals.py [...etc...] [12/12] Writing file utils.py Synchronizing done, resetting board... EDIT: Also, "Run" command on a file doesn't update the file on the flash, resulting in a strange behaviour if the current file is also present in the flash. Editing the script and running it seems to use the classes from the file on the flash memory, and the "top level" instructions from the editor file :/ EDIT2: Now the "Sync" end with an error. I rebooted the board, the PC and updated the firmware.... >>> Syncing project (main folder)...   >>> >>> [1/13] Writing file communication.py [2/13] Writing file config.py Synchronizing failed: Write failed. Please reboot your device manually.    EDIT3: Fixed with the new release
