Used Node.js installation method. Faced permission issues accessing device. Tried the suggested method in the FAQ with no success. Found this esp8266/source-code-examples#26 forum that provided the following approach: Add user to the `uucp ` , `tty ` , `dialout ` groups: ``` sudo usermod -a -G uucp $USER sudo usermod -a -G tty $USER sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER ``` The particular group that would make it work depends on the type of serial connection and linux distribution. I think this would be a more simple solution but just wanted to bring some light to this with the hopes that someone more knowledgeable could provide a more educated opinion. Cheers!
