hello dear Community,

 

the topic: ESP-Board visible in the firmware flasher-tool, but not VSCode - what to do!?


ESP-Board visible in firmware flasher-tool, but not VSCode I use MicroPython to program microcontrollers, especially the ESP32/ESP8266 types. These two microcontrollers are pretty  good compatible with MicroPython and it is easy to integrate sensors and actors programming using this language

 

 

i run vscode on windows - and on Linux.   on Windows i am facing several issues: i am happy that i am using MicroPython extension, and have successfully flashed the MicroPython  firmware (Operating System) to the ESP8266 target device. 

 

Note:  The Flashing was pretty easy: it worked as a breeze i  was using the NodeMCU flasher tool through a serial COM port of the Notebook.

 

i have installed / enabled the following plugins/extensions so far: 

 

- C++
- Native Debug
- Code Outline or AL Outline (to display and navigate properties)
- Additionally - ASM Code Lens extension - for ULP ASM
- PyMakr https://blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2018/01/micropython-plugin-for-pycharm/
and https://github.com/vlasovskikh/intellij-micropython

a great guide also visible here https://lemariva.com/blog/2018/12/micropython-visual-studio-code-as-ide

I did the following steps: After creating a new project by selecting the project folder. 
Then i want to look for the ports to connect. 
 
but the system gives back that "auto detection of COM ports isn't available for Windows
version of Visual Studio Code. I'm prompted to manually enter the COM port 
I've tried tp connect the target MicroPython device (a ESP 8266) to, and VSC gives back the following report:

  

Port not exist, please connect device and try again!


what did i have tried: 
- I've tried all available 3 USB ports, 
-  reinstalled the driver software, 
- rebooted the computer, 
- power cycled the target device and 
- made sure the target device is in program flash mode (that i did to allow application to be written to it) each time I try to connect VSC to it!


what do you suggest me to do!?


many thanks for every idea sharing and help

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By excalpius · Posted

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
