Description

I just installed adafruit-circuitpython-waveshare_rp2040_zero-en_US-7.3.1.uf2 from https://circuitpython.org/board/waveshare_rp2040_zero/ on my waveshare pico zero and after that, thonny reports: Couldn't find the device automatically. Check the connection (making sure the device is not in bootloader mode) or choose "Configure interpreter" in the interpreter menu (bottom-right corner of the window) to select specific port or another interpreter. I did reset and re-plug the device, but could not get it to connect. I then installed rp2-pico-20220618-v1.19.1.uf2 and this worked as it should.

This is probably a Thonny problem. Thonny doesn't recognize the board as a CircuitPython board. I think it may only do that if the USB VID/PID match a list it keeps. You can click on the mode in the lower right hand corner and switch to CIrcuitPython manually. That should get you going.

Thanks for the hint. This did the trick.
