Jupyer nb/CP kernel/CLUE board connection issues

Post by jhhender »

Hello, I'm looking for help with an issue related to Jupyter Notebook, Circuitpython Kernel, and the CLUE board. I'm running a class, and a subset of students are having issues like the one pasted below. The thing they all seem to share is that they had previous installations of Anaconda on their laptops before they installed the Circuitpython Kernel. Many have tried to uninstall/reinstall Anaconda, the CP kernel, and the CLUE software and libraries from scratch but without luck. Most are Windows 10 machines.

I'm wondering if there are known issues related to doing a CP kernel install on a machine with a pre-existing Anaconda install, or tips on doing a clean enough uninstall/reinstall to get things working.

Thanks for any guidance!

If you look in Device Manager, does the device show up under "USB Serial Device" as COM5?

Thanks for following up. Sorry for not responding sooner, I just saw this today. Let me look into it with one of the students who was having the problem (I can't reproduce the issue on my machine). I'll follow up here after I do (in the meantime, I've moved the students having issues to using a combo of Jupyter and Mu. It adds one more cut/paste step for them, but it's working...)
