I'm having issues connecting to a ESP32 using uPycraft.

I can burn the firmware for microPython and make a connection , write a mqtt routine and run it. If I disconnect the ESP32 from the microUSB port and try to reconnect, the only way to get the connection again is to reflash the firmware?

Is this normal for these boards? I would have thought plugging back into the USB cable would allow me to just select the comm port and press connect again?

I have the same issue. Sometimes it would connect and disciver the files, but most of the time it doesn't.
I'm looking for alternative IDEs. Sick of trying to connect with an unreliable tool.
