Hi.
I know I have posted about this before and I am not able to find my post in order to continue with it.
Basically I am struggling with getting one of the ESP32 microcontrollers be recognized and connected to via Arduino IDE and the journey has taken me to places that make me wonder why I am even bothering with this device which is not as easy to setup as DroneBot shows it to be. Using a Linex machine is out of question for me and it looks like that is the most suitable environment for the board.
But here is the current situation: I have traced the problem down to either not having any COM ports on a coomputer, or having COM ports but Arduino IDE just doesn't see the COM ports to give me an option under Tools > Ports. This option is grayed out no matter what.
I have also posted the question on Arduino. I like to know if after installing Arduino IDE, and if the computer has COM ports available, Arduino should have Tools > Port enabled for me to choose a com port?
Thanks in advance.
