The problem when I select a ARDUINO NANO or ESP8266 E12 the IDE adds "Elecrow CrowPanel 7.0P" - "port : "COM3(Eleccrow CrowPanel 7.0P)". Why ? It didn't use to. How do I fix it?
I uninstalled every thing and reinstalled I also removed all ARDUINO IDE related folders in my profile and program folders before reinstalling.
Any help welcome.
Step 3 in your workflow is wrong.
Hi @johnlslaytonjr.
I'm not sure I understood correctly what you mean by this. Please provide a more detailed description of what you mean by this in a reply on this forum thread to help us to understand it.
Where exactly does Arduino IDE "add" this text?
It might be useful if you post a screenshot of it.
Did you install a board package for the Elecrow? If yes, that is the reason. I had the same kind of 'issue' when I had the Thinary Nano Every board package installed in IDE 2.x.
Both your (clone!) Nano and the ESP8266 use the CH340 serial-to-usb converter. The Elecrow probably also does.
From the boards.txt for the Thinary Nano Every (source: ThinaryArduino/Thinary-megaavr/boards.txt at master · Thinary/ThinaryArduino · GitHub)
nona4808.name=Thinary Nano Every
nona4808.vid.0=0x1A86
nona4808.pid.0=0x7523
This will associate the name with the VID/PID of the CH340. @ptillisch can more than likely explain the details why the IDE does this; in layman's terms I think that the IDE looks for the VID/PID in all board packages till it finds a match and shows that name.
Sorry about the days it has taken me to get back to the forum. I started on a project using the new Arduino IDE. Your probable right.
Thank you for taken the time to reply.
