ESP8266 Community Forum

I am getting crazy with a D1 Mini NodeMcu ESP8266 from AZdelivery because I'm not able to connect it to the Arduino Ide : USB connection port does not appear on Arduino Tools/Port and, hence, nothing can be done with the unit. I have tried different USB cables: long and short, thick and thin but no serial port is detected neither by a Mac nor by a PC. Has somebody faced a similar issue ? Is there something to do to make the unit to be seen by the computer running the Arduino IDE ?

Thanks and best regards
