Different ports are created at various times when the MoleNet platform is connected to the computer. One port is to flash the firmware, while the second is to access the MoleNet Platform’s serial port. The first is the default after a reset. The second is usually entered if the boot button is pressed during reset or when powering up the board.
Usually, you have to setup the board twice according to the settings above. Be aware that the port identifier can change depending on your operating system.
Please use the documentation for the ESP32 available at micropython.org.
