Weird fgets and gets behavior

[fly135]

Was trying to use fgets or gets for user input. The functions don't wait for a newline. They seem to time out in about a sec and return whatever characters were typed.

Looks like you have to implement your own version of the function using getchar. Which is non blocking as well and will return immediately. So you need to put a sleep/delay in whenever you don't get a char.

By default, reading from stdin is non-blocking. If you install the UART driver, you should be able to do blocking reads. Please see examples/system/console for an example of how to enable blocking reads from stdin. Also please see https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... out-stderr

Oh cool! Thanks for the info.
