I have gone through getting started and others a few times. i can connect to Mbit V2 with blockcode and upload etc.and all works.
However opening thonny i could not see connected microbit,
went through tutorials and Run>Configure interpreter >>Micropython (BBC microbit)>>com4USB and Try to detect
then clicked ok
this has appeared to work once.
now when i send the PicoDev files it just keeps sending?
then i get this error

trying to setup air quality sensor as per tutorials.
Went and bought 2 new microbit V2s as the v1 doesnt work with Oico or something.
Just before you go to upload a file or run code can you press ‘Ctrl’ + ‘C’, if you do, does the following appear in the console? ‘>>>’
Otherwise if you press ‘Ctrl’ + ‘F2’ that should restart everything.
yes thanks
i tried contol C to break it worked once but not working still with same error mssage
i have plugged back in as normal mode but have both red and amber lights on
following tutorial to upload python using maitenance mode

Hi James,
I tried a different USB cable and as i have 2 kits was able to try both those plus the others i have.
after that i uninstalled thonny as well and reinstalled it to get latest. (was the current ver tho)
restarted laptops etc.
I was able to access with laptop as in the MICRO drive would open etc
I was also able to access with makecode webpage and send blockcode and have it work.
although i not know how to use block code/java to complete same tutorial.
I might take this work laptop home and try it with this one.
I just don’t get why it wont work for me.
flashing micropython hasnt worked it just seems to hang.
recomendations for other ways to flash the latest python and just how long will that take?
can i do from makecode bbc blockcode place, dunno what the site actually is called but it works.
sad face
