"Failed to connect (Error: Port is not open). Click here to try again." after Visual Studio update

[Matt Walter]

Hi folks,

I noticed visual studio installed an update a few days ago. Today, I connected my Lopy4 (on a Pysense 2) and the pymakr extension in visual studio code simply says "Failed to connect (Error: Port is not open). Click here to try again."

I can manually connect to the Lopy via putty so the drivers and everything else seem to be fine.

Please help?

Thanks @robert-hh. Not sure how I missed that post in my initial search.

@Matt-Walter See this thread https://forum.pycom.io/topic/6809/pymakr-1-1-8-vs-code-failed-to-connect
It's a recurring problem with almost every version of VS code.
