Worse than useless -- a waste of time. Yet another app that promises USB-to-serial terminal emulation for ChromeOS but can't deliver. Although my Chromebook alleges that "Linux apps have permission to use USB-serial adapter D," which presupposes that Chrome can see it and communicate with it also, this app sees no adapter and offers no port. My anger is probably better directed at ChromeOS, the one OS on the planet that can't handle a simple console session. (Even Windows can do that.)
Does not work. When you open a connection with a USB serial device, the whole thing freezes. The app even tells you, but directs you to a year old github thread...
Like Andrew Holt, I tried this on Acer 720p on both USB2 and USB3 ports. Nothing but black screen, no config pop ups at all
Plugged a serial adapter (FTDI or Prolific) into my Acer C720. Started the app and all I got was a black window.
For some reason can not copy paste, can not add "" quotation, and other problems, this is a recent problem.
It lacks some features like remembering which serial device it was last connected to or automatically reconnecting when your USB serial device reboots. Other to that it looks and works great.
