Beginners setup of ESP32 QT Py with Mu

Post by retrodans »

Hi, I have been doing a lot of searching, and just cannot find somewhere that seems to have the same issue I have. But I get the feeling I have missed a very important step in setting up my QT PY for use.

So I have it plugged directly into my Ubuntu 20.04 laptop by USB cable.

I have Mu version 1.2.0 running

When I run Mu (using CircuitPython option for example) it tells me "Could not find an attached CircuitPython device"

When I run `lsusb` I can see the device there:

> Bus 001 Device 020: ID 239a:8111 Adafruit QT Py ESP32-S2

Any advice would be appreciated, I was under the impression Mu should connect straight away, but I may then need to flash some libraries, but haven't even gotten that far yet.

Thanks for any time people can give,
Dan
