FT232H not working in Thonny but can be seen in terminal

[sjagrant]

FT232H not working in Thonny but can be seen in terminal. Running on Windows and followed Adafruit install instructions with positive feedback for tests.

raise NotImplementedError( NotImplementedError: Adafruit-PlatformDetect version 3.75.0 was unable to identify the board and/or microcontroller running the Windows platform. Please be sure you have the latest packages by running: 'pip3 install --upgrade adafruit-blinka adafruit-platformdetect'

Check and installed correctly

Probably related to Thonny not seeing the environment variable.

Did you run the post install checks from within Thonny also? https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-any-computer-with-ft232h/troubleshooting In particular, this one: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-any-computer-with-ft232h/troubleshooting#check-environment-variable-within-python-3041702

• In Thonny, go to Tools -> Options...
• Enter BLINKA_FT232H=1 in the Environment variables
• Restart Thonny

Can test like this:

Yes I did, but when I got to NotImplementedError recheck Zadig I didn't get any further and kept going back to setup steps.---

If you get

NotImplementedError: Operation not supported or unimplemented on this platform

Go back to the setup steps and Zadig your board if on Windows https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-any-computer-with-ft232h/troubleshooting#check-environment-variable-within-python-3041702 Check environment variable within python

At the Python REPL, type

import os os.environ["BLINKA_FT232H"]

if you get a KeyError it means you did not set the environment variable right

Again many thanks for your great support.
