Text values don't seem to work

[tbaumann]

I love this thing.

But I just noticed that ">name:text|t" values don't seem to work. That works with the upstream Teleplot. But the upstream version doesn't seem to support serial ports. Text could be very useful for me to track the internal state of for example a state machine...

And, while Serial support is really cool, it's not without fail. When using the traditional serial monitor platform.io is clever enough to stop the serial monitor while it uploads code and start it back up once it's done uploading. It would be real cool if it could do the same with Teleport (Disconnect while it's flashing the device)

I shall use UDP at some point (I'm using ESP32, where that will be an option). Once I do that I can have text values and don't have to fight for the port.
