im not even sure what im doing wrong. all i know is that while i can upload code to the rp2040 usb host feather fine, after i have done so i cannot get the serial monitor to work. i tried using putty, but for some reason i have like 21 unnamed usb com ports. arduino 2 app will not recognize a port nor will windows name the port. i mainly just want to make a code that powers a usb type b midi device and transports the midi code to the usb c port. all the tutorials are written for older versions of windows and arduino. basically nothing is written about this board online. barely anything. does anyone have a suggestion of where to start with this board?

hihi- sorry you've been having problems. we recommend going to the forums for support questions like this for a quick response and troubleshooting assistance: https://forums.adafruit.com/viewforum.php?f=57

i was able to recreate your problems after updating the Philhower core. To resolve it, I closed out of the Arduino IDE, navigated to the Arduino packages folder on Windows (C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages), deleted the rp2040 folder, reopened the Arduino IDE and installed the Philhower core so that it was a fresh install. After that, I uploaded the code to the board and was able to use the USB host simple example from TinyUSB and see device info.

i have not tested with the Arduino 2 IDE yet, so I would also recommend using version 1 to see if that solves the problem. if you are still unable to upload code to the board after trying these two ideas please post to the forums.

yeah, it doesn't seem to work on either versions of arduino. or at least the older version of arduino has the same results as using arduino 2.
