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


Question

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

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
