Needed to add "upload_port = /dev/ttyUSB0" to platformio.ini - now SOURCE CONTROL in Code complains #79

That's odd, thought it tried to find the port automatically. Maybe environment variables? |

Alex,
Thanks for showing me the way............................
I am using Linux and it seems the upload port in the Lnux version is not
being automagically found.
Linux uses shells (my distribution uses the bash shell) to set up the
session environment for a user when initially logged in.
Using your first reference [
https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/envvars.html],
# Unix (bash, zsh)
export VARIABLE_NAME=VALUE
shows the export command to set a variable to be used during the session.
Platformio uses a prefix to identify its variables, so the following
statement should work:
*export PLATFORMIO_UPLOAD_PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0*
I will remove the reference I put in the platformio.ini file
[*upload_port = /dev/ttyUSB0] *and set it in the session file.
I will report back later on my success and what worked; I hope it helps others.
Dave

If it works I can look at adding a tips/hints bit to the docs for Linux users. |

Put the following line in my session .bashrc export PLATFORMIO_UPLOAD_PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0 and it worked fine!!! Benefit of this addition in the session .bashrc is that it does NOT change the platformio.ini file in the EX-T3-WiFi repository and cause a highlight of the difference between my working copy and the github version. "If it works I can look at adding a tips/hints bit to the docs for Linux users." Anything you can do to help the users (MAC and Linux) will be greatly appreciated.!!!! We want this process to be as plug-and-play as possible. [Redacted several superfluous lines of log shown by several lines of dots] Looking for upload port... |

"If it works I can look at adding a tips/hints bit to the docs for Linux users" I'm in the process of writing exaclty that - How do I format the file for you - such as an .md file? Lead the way Dave |

Hi Dave, This page has good docs on how to write docs 😁 If you do it in VSCode you can have a side by side editor/preview. |

I had to add an upload_port directive (/dev/ttyUSB0) to the platformio.ini file to get the upload to work in the EX-T3-Wifi git directory and now Source Control in Code wants me to commit my change.
Do you know where I can add the upload_port directive in another place outside the git tree that will provide the directive globally?
