Live board coding

XOBIT treats the ESP32 as a live programmable object: edit a script in the browser, upload it to the board, watch logs, stop it, and inspect the sketch that is actually on the device.

Coding Loop

Upload from Code

The Code view keeps the editor, upload controls, status, and console in one work surface. Upload sends source text to the firmware, which compiles it, stops the old script, and starts the new one if compilation succeeds.

Good Habits

Read the console after every upload; compile and runtime errors usually point to the failing boundary.
Keep `loop()` short: do one frame of work, return, or use a small `delay()` so USB and online control stay responsive.
Upload small changes first when debugging physical behavior.
Use `lastError()` and `clearError()` when a sketch needs to expose errors in its own UI.
