Lost serial for Pico

Post by CrabbyPete » Fri Dec 10, 2021 2:22 pm

I have been coding on a Pico using Thonny on a Mac Book and all was working well until Thonny told me no port found. I looked for the port using

Code: Select all

ls /dev/cu*
and the device was not there, so I reloaded Micropython, and rebooted. Still no serial port. I plugged the board in a PC and no COM port showed up. I then flashed the same Pico with Circuit Python and rebooted and the port showed up as
/dev/cu.usbmodem1414101. If I put Micropython back on the board, I don't see a serial port. Is there a way to fix this?
