My nodemcu32s is not recognised by arduino ide. Not even ports. I tried two cables and two pcs at one pc i hear the sound when a usb connects but only in device manager not in arduino ide. Mega 2560 is recognised though from the same port. What should i do? The red light lights up too it gets power so?
please help its an emergency

Hi @marinochungus.

OK, this is useful information.

Please try this troubleshooting procedure and then report your results in a reply on this forum thread:

  1. Open the Windows Device Manager.
  2. Select View > Devices by type from the Device Manager menus.
  3. Open the "View" menu.
  4. If there is a ✓ to the left of the "Show hidden devices" menu item, click on "Show hidden devices" to disable it.
  5. Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
  6. Take note of the contents of the "Other devices" and "Ports (COM & LPT)" sections of the Device Manager tree.
  7. Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
  8. Select Action > Scan for hardware changes" from the Device Manager menus.

Did you see any new device appear in the Device Manager tree after doing this? If so, please tell us where it is located in the tree and what it is named.

You can repeat steps 5-8 multiple times if you are not sure.

OK, it looks like you will be able to solve the problem by installing the driver for the Silicon Labs CP2102 USB to serial bridge chip on your board.

You can get the driver from the chip manufacturer's website here:
