ESP8266 Community Forum

I was trying to upload a sketch to my nodemcu 1.0 board. I was using the ESP8266 Flasher and when i plug in my board the com port does not show up. And yes I doublechecked if I selected the right board, baudrate, frequency etc.... i tried all the com ports available and every time I get this:


Arduino: 1.8.9 (Windows 10), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Serial, 80MHz, DIO, 115200, 4M (1M SPIFFS)"

....
Sketch uses 198833 bytes (19%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1044464 bytes.
Global variables use 33050 bytes (40%) of dynamic memory, leaving 48870 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81920 bytes.
