Computer not detecting esp as port

Postby Yasin5335 » Sat Jun 22, 2024 4:20 am

Hello, I’m using an esp32 c3 mini and I can’t upload code, my laptop doesn’t detect it as a port but detects is as an unknown usb device, before this happened I uploaded a code and In that code I’m using the tx and rx pins of the esp for getting gps coordinate is there a way for me to upload code do this esp again, also the board doesn’t have any other issues because I tried it with another and the same thing happened

You can nearly always recover an esp32 device by holding down the programming (aka BOOT) button while you reset. This will put the device into the bootloader download mode. If you choose "USB CDC enabled on boot" in the tools menu, then the IDE should be able to put the device into download mode without holding down the button next time.
