peripheral access
can we have acces to serial ports? this would enable some arduino or microcontroller interaction very interesting for lab activities

I’m going to list this feature as “Under Review”. It is unlikely to happen in the near future but may be something added on down the road if there is sufficient demand.

as i know, you can access the serial port (COM)
by using native html and aciveX components of your browser. obvliously the tricky part is to perform a data acquisition in situ then "push" the data bin online, because do an online data -by -data submit could be a pain .... for educational purposes like microcontrollers, on the fly data acquisition with no soft, will be a great deal. -
Agreed, this would be a good feature down the road, but it will require installation of the software onto the system. (At least until the day when browsers support access to peripherals, if that day ever comes.)

I doubt a browser would let you do that. So then you'll need to install some client on the computer, which is additional pain; you could as well just install octave.
[[ indeed, the proposed client would just do the communication, so it would be a lot lighter than octave ]]
