Hello all.
I am experimenting lately with WebSerial and WebUSB APIs in order to get a Picaxe chip to communicate with a web application. My main target was to get a Picaxe talking over a usb-serial cable to the web application (running on an android mobile phone/tablet using chrome browser) without having to build a custom android application to handle the usb-serial part. Turns out it works great!
My question is, wouldn't it make sense to support those APIs, especially the WebUSB, in order to be able to use the Picaxe Cloud editor to write the code and then download directly to the Picaxe chip from a tablet?
