ESP32 Thing assistance

Hi all,
I have an ESP32 Thing Sparkfun board that my company has previously had coded.
The old progammer has left the business and I need to pull the code off of it.
The USB C connection to my PC doesn’t appear to be working.
It powers the board on, i can see the LED’s light up but i’m unable to detect it in Arduino IDE.
Ken.

Hi Kendrick,

As far as I know, there is no way to view the code loaded onto the board itself from the Arduino IDE. Arduino Compiles the code into machine readable language, and that is what is loaded and run on the board. This is common to all Arduino boards. You will likely need to get the original Arduino files saved to the PC and go from there, or start anew.
