Tutorial examples ok.

Visual Studio using the development boards ESP32 PICO-Kit V4 and ESP32

error messages:

VS Errors ttyUSB :

All hints and adaptations from the ebook fail. Please report on solutions, such as different firmware for VS and/or Arduino ?

Hi.
Are you using the Pymakr extension with VS Code?
Did you follow this tutorial https://randomnerdtutorials.com/micropython-esp32-esp8266-vs-code-pymakr/?
You may need to specify the port manually in the pymakr.json file.
