Photon setup with Particle Dev

Troubleshooting
1

Any way to set up a Photon using Particle Dev? When I connect with the Serial Monitor, the SSID gets skipped.

Photon in listening mode.
Connect via serial monitor.

w  /return

Displays:

SSID:
Security 0=unsecured, 1=WEP, 2=WPA, 3=WPA2:

It does not let me enter my SSID!

Ideas?

Confirmed. Looks like the serial monitor is also sending the newline so that the SSID is skipped.

I’m on PD 0.0.23 (0.0.23). Same behavior with a Core. I’d almost think this is a problem on the device, because I’m using SM to send test commands to the device in my firmware and I look for the newline character (10) in order to find the end of each command. In previous versions the (10) was stripped?

@mdma can you point me to the serial setup routine in the firmware so I see if the problem lies there? What file and method?

The firmware is working correctly. Connect to the device using particle-cli, PuTTY, screen or some other serial monitor and serial setup behaves correctly.
