I'm not sure what is causing this problem but the first things to try if you can't connect to a board are:

Dear all, we have the same problem after switching to a new PC. We have tried both resets and it hasn’t worked. Is there another trick we could try? |

@jerrylow2000 it may also be worth confirming that your cable is usb power and data. Some usb cables are power only. In windows search for and open "Device manager" and click the "Ports" toggle. When you plug in your pyboard, a new USB Serial Device should appear.

Dear Thomas,
Thank you for your quick reply.
To answer your questions:
1. The board doesn’t show up in the GUI.
2. Yes, it has worked until now and after switching it back to the old computer it worked again.
3. Both computers are windows. The old one is in Japanese (but there the connection works). The new one is in English.
4. I can have a look when I’m in the lab tomorrow.
Thank you and all the best,

Hi @terezie-sedlinska<https://github.com/terezie-sedlinska>, can you provide a bit more information about the issue.
* When exactly does the error happen? Does the board show up in the GUI but you are unable to connect, or does it not show up in the GUI at all?
* Does the board work ok on the old computer?
* Are you using a different OS on the two computers? Is the computer OS langauge set to a language other than english?
* Do you see anything in the ErrorLog.txt file in the pycontrol folder?

@terezie-sedlinska could you try opening the gui then unplugging and re-plugging in the pyboard to the computer to see if it then shows up in the gui. We have sometimes had an issue where the boards don't show up when the gui is first opened but then appear when unplugged and plugged back in. |
