RAK8211, code stop when not connected to Web IDE in any way

Using the console.log command causes code execution to stop when the Web IDE is not connected.
As written in the command note, it seems to occur anyway.

Note: If you're connected to a computer (not a wall adaptor) via USB
but you are not running a terminal app then when you print data
Espruino may pause execution and wait until the computer requests the
data it is trying to print.

That applies to devices with hardware USB, which RAK8211 doesn't have.

But could you try adding the code Bluetooth.setConsole(1) - if you're using Serial1 for GSM/GPS (which seems likely) then Espruino might attempt to use that for the REPL when you're disconnected, which would break whatever you were communicating with

Thanks, I then found the same solution and it seems to work.
