Hello community, I recently ordered a Wemos D1 Mini Pro V1.0 is not showing a COM port when I have the drivers installed. Even though I have the drivers feel free to recommend drivers to me.
Edit: Posted this very quickly without full information in the post. Whenever I plug the device in the blue light flashes once. Also, when I release the reset button the blue light flashes once.

The WeMos-D1R2 board comes without an USB cable. Make sure you have a data cable and not a ordinary charging cable. A data cable causes your Windows OS to react. It announces the attachment of a new hardware and tries to install the USB drivers. It either finds the driver on your system or it does not. If it does not then you will need to download the USB drivers. The USB interface chip is the CH340G. You will need to install the drivers for this chip.
A Google search for the "CH340G drivers" finds several sites. You can download the Windows 7 drivers from here or the Windows 8 from here. Though I have not tried them, other operating systems can be downloaded from here. Some flavors of Windows operating system come with the drivers.
I downloaded the most current Arduino software (Version 1.6.8) from here. It is a Windows installer exe file so double clicking on it will start the installation including the installation of several peripheral drivers. You can find detailed instructions to install the Arduino software here.
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. I have set up everything and the blink sketch works on the led on my wemos but I can't get the LEDS I attach to the board to respond to any program I upload from the IDE. Does anyone have a suggestion?
When you connect the WeMOS D1 mini board for the first time on your Windows computer through a USB cable, it might be the case to install a USB-to-SERIAL driver. The board has a USB-to-SERIAL converte
Just realize i had brought a different motor driver but still wondering is it still works. But there are certain pin which seems very different from the appropriate one. I don't know which pin is PWMA and PWMB and for the input for drivers.
Do you have the newest Arduino IDE 1.8.15 ?
Do you have the newest esp32 boards installed, version 1.0.6 ?
Have you installed a driver for the CH340G usb-serial chip ?
Did you select the "LOLIN D32" board in the menu of the Arduino IDE ?
Which operating system do you use ?
It has the ESP-WROOM-32 module, that is the most common module there is.
Instead of the CH340G, it has the usb-serial chip CP2104. I suppose that Windows recognizes it, but perhaps that failed. If it does not create a COM port, then the drivers are under the "Downloads" tab here: -to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers.
I added the jason0x43 DH code to my hubitat, in the driver section. All my WeMo's work via the app, and via google home as before, so I guess the question is how to add these devices to the hubitats control using the DH? Now added the app code and it polled and saw the wemo outlets... still dont have control via hubitat, but the app saw them
Better fix your Mac driver problem. Many boards from China use the CH340.
Can't help you there, but I've seen several posts here that have fixed that problem.
Don't like this site, but it could be a start.
The manufacturer's driver for the CH340 is not compatible with macOS Sierra. On this thread you will find links to modified CH340 drivers that will work with Sierra:

The mblock.cc link looks the most promising to me, but I don't have a mac so I can't say for sure:

Thanks Pert!
Alas, I recently bought a Nano which uses the CH340 serial chip, and had to return it because I simply could not get it to create or open a serial port using any of the plethora of drivers I tried. The only thing I didn't do was try the terminal update kext because I also read somewhere that this also sometimes caused system crashes.
So, my options are limited. I need to find another way of programming any ESP8266 I buy, or, find one that uses something other than CH340 USB-serial.
Any advice?
Oh, I am on El Capitan.
I am having a similar issue with my WeMos D1 Arduino UNO-R3. I downloaded the ch340 driver and ran but it is still not showing as a com port. I have tried with hours with no luck. Any advice would be appreciated.
I am having the same issue. I tried so many times installing the ch340 driver and got various result from install fail to install in advance. But then when I plugin my programmer for ESP01, it recognizes the ch340 for com6. So I think my driver is ok unless there is a diff driver specially for ESP12. I have 1/2 dozen of these they all seem to behave the same (NodeMcu V3 to ESP12 WeMos). And I was sure I tested one working before with Arduino sketch. This is very frustrating.
I really appreciate your comment.
After two days struggling, I succeeded to install my wemos driver. I changed the cables and computers but nothing worked. The VCP driver is the only solution to my board.
Yes. The original code works if it is uploaded to an Arduino UNO device. The code is just turn on the built-in LED on and off only. I think the question is why it flows error when uploading the code. For different hardware, do we need a different driver setting when configuring the device extension ?
We have confirmed with the rd engineer, it should still be the problem of driver incompatibility. UNO is based on ATMEGA328P and uses stk500v1 driver. yours is ESP8266, we guess you need to use esptool.
Some systems require a reboot before the driver installation can be successfully completed. The installer may or may not tell you about this! If you later connect the ThingPulse device and the system does not recognize it try rebooting as a first measure..
If anyone has downloaded and is using the driver with version 1.0.26 update to 1.0.27 there was an issue in 1.0.26 that causes most of the bindings not to be generated.
Be sure to completely replace the driver and not just update it, this issue has to do with the Persistent Data of the driver.
Sorry to everyone that has already downloaded it.
Good news! The driver supports the motion as well. Due to the UPnP subscription and the motion sharing the same UPnP action as the switches, you can use the endpoint and program against the "Turned On" event to detect movement across the motion. It will also update the relay bindings accurately as well, and in real time.
The only thing I did notice is that the motion sends a rather frequent notification every 20 seconds to the subscribers saying it hasn't sensed any motion.
Note: If WeMo devices continue to use the same UPnP actions, most devices should inherently work.
UPDATE: The driver was not working on versions older than 2.3 due to a call to "GetControllerNetworkAddress" this is now resolved, the driver will now acquire the address another way if it is unable to find API call.
Latest version is now 1.0.28, however, you only need to update if you're deploying on something older than 2.3
There is a cost to this driver, it is not free.
It comes with a 21 day trial that is activated as soon as it is added to the project, once the 21 days elapse the driver will stop functioning and a key will need to be purchased for further use.
The retail cost of the driver is $100, this would include remote installation of the driver. I understand many endusers here have Composer Pro, but please don't contact us wanting dealer pricing when you are not a dealer, or asking to install the driver on your own.
This is the only way we can insure the driver is working and installed properly. It is not cost effective to spend time teaching end users how the whole process works and educated them about the driver. When they are not a dealer and won't install beyond their own system or make any further driver purchases the time invested doesn't make sense.
In order to be able to program the WeMos D1 mini you will need to install CH340 usb to serial driver: (or -ch341-serial-adapters-macos-sierra/ if on macOS Sierra). Note that this will require an OS restart after installation before you can use the driver.
After checking that the USB cable is okay, reseting the device, restarting the computer, and checking again the board definition, we ended up uninstalling the CP210 driver (see the uninstall script in the driver installer package), and then reinstalling again and restarting the computer. Then after setting the upload speed and serial print to 115200, the upload worked!
The CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers are required for device operation as a Virtual COM Port to facilitate host communication with CP210x products. These devices can also interface to a host using the direct access driver.
MacOS is going to complain that it blocked an extension from being installed. I went down a long rabbit trail here worried that something wasn't installed. If you do some digging you'll find a ReadMe.PDF with the driver download that mentions usbserial.kext in /Library/Extensions and /System/Library/Extensions.
I got to know that this error is being encountered by many people right now. I've used arduino IDE with esp8266 for some time now and this is the first time such an error has popped up. And I think it has something to do with the libraries or drivers installed while setting up the arduino IDE for ESP8266.
I encountered a similar issue and was able to resolve it by installing the CH340_driver. The CH340 driver provides essential support for devices utilizing the CH340 chipset, ensuring proper communication with your computer.
