Hello,

I tried the forum discussions, but still get the same error message.

someone is using “screen” the wrong way.

Try using minicom instead. Google or “man minicom” for usage.

I was able to get particle serial monitor to at least open by installing serialport

sudo apt install serialport

However it closes immediately after opening.

"PortInfo.comName" has been deprecated. You should now use "PortInfo.path". The property will be removed in the next major release.

Has anyone found a solution for this?
