Just curious; if multiple ESP modules were connected via USB to a PC, and Thonny was then launched would it select a module at random, or would it not interact with any module?

This depends on how you have configured the interpreter -- if you have selected a specific port, then only the device on this port will be considered. If you have chosen automatic port selection and there are several suitable matches, then none is selected and the matches are listed in Shell.

Best regards,

Hi Aivar,

Just as an FYI; I was able to have two instances of Thonny running, each talking to their respective development boards on separate COM channels.
