I tested it with the ESP32 S3 Dev Kit again and now I’m getting this
CURRENT: upload_protocol = esptool
Looking for upload port...
Error: Please specify `upload_port` for environment or use global `--upload-port` option.
For some development platforms it can be a USB flash drive (i.e. /media/<user>/<device name>)
*** [upload] Explicit exit, status 1
i did the pio upgrade --dev like described here TimeoutError: Could not automatically find serial port - #32 by ivankravets
But there is an actual COM port present that PIO also sees. this shows on the serial monitor
upload using upload_port = COM27 works fine
@maxgerhardt Would it be possible to add a Dialog like in the serial monitor to select a port manually if auto detect failed? the upload command takes quite long with the whole dependency graph and other stuff
