check if following ports are not used by other processes.
http : http://localhost:8081
websocket: ws://localhost:8081
tcpsocket: tcp://localhost:8082
dbgserver: tcp://localhost:8083

we should be sniffing for unused ports...

[pelikhan]

@xmeow we had an unneeded dependency on serialport. is this still failing?

It looks decent on latest devicescript extension build.

I found that I ran into this when I'd run "Connect Device" in vs code, then try to hit the play button on the debugger.

The workflow is much better to run npm run start, and then just save your main file to upload it.
