I'm trying to upload some code through arduino to my Lilygo T-Beam meshtastic with Lora32. I have installed the esp32 board manager yet it doesn't show the port. I have another T-Beam without an OLED screen that shows up when connected.
I'm figuring out if it is something wrong with the board I selected but the board I have is a T-Beam. I have attached a picture of the T-Beam that doesn't work here. The board that connects has TTGO written on it but the one that doesn't has Lilygo but I believe both are T-Beams. Could anyone help connect me if I am wrong?
I have set the upload speed to 115200 as well and the upload frequency to 80MHz too.
Disclaimer: no experience with any of your boards.
Cable? You might be using charge-only cable for the none-working board. Swap the cables and see if the problem moves.
Driver? Are both boards using the same serial-to-usb converter?
You don't state which operating system you're using; what does your operating system think of your board? If the operating system has problems with your board, the IDE will not see it.
Another T-Beam connects well with the same cable so I don't think it is a problem with the cable either. The T-Beam isn't broken either, it connects to meshtastic, oled works perfectly fine and device powers up when connected to the usb cable. I'm afraid I might have selected the wrong hardware model but I am quite certain that there could be a problem there. If there isn't a problem there, I don't know where it can be.
Appreciate your assistance, I will look into what you said further. Hope I can find the issue.
