My ESP8266 doesnt show up in arduino

Using Arduino Installation & Troubleshooting
#1

I downloaded the necessary libraries so I can add ESP to the board manager, but when I try to assign port to the ESP it doesnt show up

I tired another ESP same problem, tried 2 other arduino boards (MEGA and UNO) and they worked without any problems and showed up as COM4

When looking at device manger the Arduinos I tried show up ion Ports (COM & LPT) with assigned COMs as they should but both the ESPs show up in Other Devices as USB Serial

Trying different USB ports didnt do anything

#2

Which ESP8266 exactly? Does it have a yellow triangle in windows device manager?

I'm using Wemos D1 Mini and it uses the CH340 TTL-to-USB converter for a which a driver is needed; it can be downloaded from CH341SER.ZIP - NanjingQinhengMicroelectronics. So you need to determine which TTL-to-USB converter is on your board.

If it shows up in Other devices, then it doesn't have a driver installed.

@xanik Please download the driver by clicking here. Download the driver. Extract the folder, then run the .exe file. Then re-open Arduino and it will work. Hope that helps.
