Using latest version of IDE on my PC workstation running W11 I can upload to a NodeMCU-32S board with not problems.
Same board, USB cable & IDE version and W11 on my Asus Laptop - it times out trying to connect for the upload. I can get it to work sometimes by pressing the EN button on the board. I never have to do this on my Workstation.
I know the USB port is correct because the Serial Monitor works fine for both receiving and transmitting.
I did try a different board and cable. Same issue.
Hi @ianc99. I'm going to ask you to provide the full verbose output from an upload on each of the computers. It might be that we will be able to spot some relevant difference between the two outputs, which explains why you are getting the different results.
This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.
Please do this:
Connect the NodeMCU-32S board to the PC workstation with a USB cable.
Start Arduino IDE on the PC workstation.
Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
The "Preferences" dialog will open.
Uncheck the box next to Show verbose output during: ☑ compile in the "Preferences" dialog.
Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload.
Click the "OK" button.
The "Preferences" dialog will close.
Attempt an upload, as you did before.
Wait for the upload to finish.
Right click on the black "Output" panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window.
A context menu will open.
Select Copy All from the menu.
Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
This will paste the upload output into the code block.
Move the cursor outside of the code block markup in the forum reply composer.
Connect the NodeMCU-32S board to the Asus Laptop with a USB cable.
Start Arduino IDE on the Asus Laptop.
Repeat the upload and output collection procedure described above, this time on the Asus Laptop.
