⚠️
Charge-only cables can't carry data. A charge-only cable has 2 wires; a data cable has 4. If the laptop doesn't see a new serial port, try a different cable before anything else.
⚠️
Battery only. The board runs from the USB battery, and the laptop connected to the data port must run on its own battery, unplugged from the wall charger.
