      @livius Thanks for the answer.
      The problem is exactly that I connect the board with the USB and it is not installed as COM port....symply the system does not recognize it. I tried in three computer the three with linux and windows....I can use pymakr and load the examples of the tutorials but the computers are not recognizing the board. I tried also with different USB cables....any idea?

        Hi @Daniel. I just updated my WiFy 2.0 to the latest firmware version (1. I noticed that I cannot find the RTC module.

        If I import machine and then do a dir(machine); RTC class seems to be missing.

        Best

              @livius And any suggestion for the board not being detected by any computer/system after connecting it with USB? Any special USB cable is needed? Could you show me a screenshot of how the device list should look like in case of a proper detection?
              Thanks and sorry for the extra work. I was eager to work on the board....I am still but more frustrated.

                @livius Just some good news. In Ubuntu, I manage to connect the board through the serial port (COM) with the updater and the pymakr. I notice that the port was /dev/ttyUSB0 and I could type it in the linux updater and worked fine.
                Thanks for the help. Motivation comes up again!

                  May I ask which USB cable do you use to connect the board? I lost the connection again with the same cable in Ubuntu, not accessible any more.....

                    best use expansion board
                    if you have not one then use any converter - e.g. - remember about voltage 3V3

                      @livius Thanks Livius. I am already using the expansion board (the Wipy 2.0 is plugged in).

                      Still no solution...next time today after work. I have some ideas in mind that this board could help a lot but.....well let see whether it improves or at least I manage to solve my problems

                      Cheers

                        I work on Windows and there are no problems with updater
                        If you connect GND + GP23 by wire
                        and turn power on(or reset WiPy)
                        and you run Firmware Updater - it work for me without problem with Expansion Board
