PIO home “devices” isn’t showing any serial ports, yet I have devices plugged into 3 of them, so they definitely exist. What am I missing?
The device I’m trying to upload to is a creality ender 3 Pro with the V1.1x board. It already has a bootloader burned to it, so it should be a recognizable device. What am I missing?
Okay then let’s check that. Are you on Windows? If yes, what are the list of COM ports shown in the device manager?
It’s showing USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM3) which goes away when I unplug the printer, so it’s definitely that
Alright then please go into PIO Home -> Devices, press Refresh and then Alt + PrntScreen to create a screenshot, then Ctrl+V that into here.
You don’t need to install the “Arduino” extension to use PlatformIO in VSCode. But it also shouldn’t cause an error… I hope.
Do you have any other serial monitor program open that could possibly use COM3?
Well I suppose something must have been. I closed everything but VSCode and this browser and it suddenly worked. I guess I should’ve tried that earlier
