Having issues getting ESP32-S3 Pico to communicate with windows

Hi all,
I seem to remember ESP’s with USB-C that behave differently depending on the way the plug is inserted. I don’t know who thought that was ‘a good thing’…!! but try turning the plug over.

Hi Dave and Alan,

I have had a mixed experience using Thonny’s ESP32-Sx and Cx bootloader upload functionality.
(And also depends on how the board is wired).

I’d give esptool.py a go to upload firmware/bootloaders (make sure you upload the correct, USB or UART translator version as that will control which serial port outputs to the REPL and hence if it will work with Thonny.
