Hi guys, sorry my stupid question but how can I re-establish the connection to retrieve date from the board to the terminal in VS Code ?

I am testing my I2C sniffer code and it seems it finaly works as needed. I captured the data from I2C bus and printed them on the VS Code terminal several times, several condition. Last test were done tomorrow and today when I re-open thge project and connect the USB cable I can't get any data to the terminal. But, if I use the the Buil-Flash-Monitor icon on the bottom bar I can retreive the data again. Is there any way how to "re-connect" without the flashing, please ?

The build-flash-monitor button works, but not the monitor button next to it?

Exactly, when I turn on the external device I can’t see any data on the monitor but if I flash the board and tun the external device it works and I can see the sniffed data on the monitor.

I just wanted to check if everything works with already flashed board and when everything was switched off within the flash and restart of all components.

I did something wrong I tried today again and it works now using the Monitor device icon.
