Can't ever read the firmware version and module ID

[snollygolly]

On every run of my project, I get the following:

Computer:tessel-ir-utility snollygolly$ npm run tessel

> [email protected] tessel /Users/snollygolly/tessel-ir-utility
> t2 run index.js

It looks like it's always updating the firmware, and based on a quick slack conversation with @johnnyman727, that's not expected behavior.

Yes, it should check if you have the correct firmware version each time but it definitely should not need to update it each time. Thanks for reporting.

@snollygolly want to try out tessel/attiny-common#9 for me?

If it's easier for you, you can just manually update line of node_modules/attiny-common/lib/index.js to 200.

@johnnyman727 200 didn't work for me. I upped it in increments of 50, and 700 looks to be about the lowest I can go.

@snollygolly maybe the best way to approach this would be to continually try to communicate with the module after the reset in 50ms increments until we get a response or 1000ms passes. If 1000ms pass, then we can try to update. Do you want to implement that?

[snollygolly]

That sounds like a pretty solid idea. I'll sure give it a try!

👍 Fantastic. Ping me when you're ready for a review.
