Amica NodeMCU unable to be detected by arduino IDE

Using Arduino Installation & Troubleshooting
#1

Hi, im working on a subject project and bought an amica nodemcu

I have reinstalled the drivers and installed all the ESP8266 modules for arduino IDE but it still does not show up in the arduino IDE port selection.

Device manager is detecting but not the software.

I search around google for a good while still clueless on why it is not detected

So i posted here hoping someone could shed some light on it, thanks

What does it show as in Device Manager?

#3

sorry for the very late reply.

the item showed as Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge

i have a snip of the device management tab

Are you saying that COM2 is not listed under the Tools > Port menu?
