I apologize but I am over IDE 2.x, not IDE 1.x.
I have similar problem than others topics. At first I tried to work over W10 on VM, but had trouble with COM port to upload. I buyed an standalone W10 PC. In the beginning all was OK.
but I changed the port to connect to WKR1010 and the problems begin.
COM7, COM5 detected but not worked, actually I try on COM8(?).
...(uploading message)
Performing 1200-bps touch reset on serial port COM7
Waiting for upload port...
Upload port found on COM8
...
te problem is that COM8 is not detected by IDE ( but sometimes it works) ...
...
maybe is possible to reset the previously detected ports?
Some ideas? Thanks for any help
The MKR1010 is a board with native USB. To activate the bootloader, the IDE opens and closes the current serial port (COM7 in your case) with a baudrate of 1200 baud. The bootloader presents itself with a different port (COM8 in your case).
This is normal behaviour. If you monitor the MKR1010 in Windows device manager, you will see that COM7 disappears and COM8 shows when performing an upload. After the upload, COM8 will disappear and COM7 will (should) come back.
As you seem to have an upload problem, I've moved your topic from IDE 1.x to a more suitable category.
