Nodemcu isn't detected (COM) #29

Open n00bhax opened 7 years ago

n00bhax commented 7 years ago

the program doesn't see the com and in device manager it's the same. Nothing is connected. I do have an arduino nano which works perfectly and is detected by device manager. I tried 2 different cables and pressing the flash and reset buttons on the esp8266.

Thanks for helping!

So most likely the reason for this is a driver issue the driver is cp2102 driver esp8266 or here is a link hope this helps https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers

just unzip the driver and run the exe and you should start seeing the esp8266

I don't think this will work. The nodemcu was just broken. I bought another one and it worked fine

thanks for the answer though

no problem

I guess issues should be close since it is not a nodemcu problem, but a USB-to-Serial IC problem. Look at https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher/issues/31 Close issue 29 and issue 31 :-) 👍

Worked for me, the COM port was available after installing the driver.
