When I try to connect the cable with the webcam, it says the cable cannot be connected to that port.
Can anyone help me with this, please
So I met the same issue that you got when following the lab tutorial and in order to resolve it, you need to :
left-click on the webcam
--> it will open its setting windows
click the "Advanced" button
--> the "I/O Config" tab will appear
under "I/O Config" tab you will need to change the value of the field "Network Adapter" and select one type of adapter which can connect to the router by ethernet for example the one ending with "CFE" like in here attached picture

I tried to flash an ESP32 but I didn't succeed, I tried with esptool.py and Arduino IDE. I tried to press the boot button and reset but it didn't work. Here is the error:
A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header
If using the Arduino IDE, try lowering the upload speed (Tools/Upload Speed). Lowering mine from 921600 to 460800 did the trick.
First ensure that you are in download mode:
Start the serial monitor and set the speed (mine is 115200).
While pressing the "boot" button, press and release the "en" button (your buttons may be labeled differently).
You should see something like this on the serial monitor:
waiting for download
Now start the upload
My development machine, a 2013 iMac is connected via USB to the USB-c port on my ESP32 Dev Module. Apparently the iMac's USB or ESP32 board's USB cannot keep up at the 921600 upload speed.
DISCLAIMER! May not be correct answer but may help to save time for someone.
Quick answer if you do not want read my experience: Disconnect all wires from pins and try uploading again! It may help.
I came across with the same error and could not figure it out. I first thought that something is wrong with the code, because it happened after I edited working code while figuring out where to connect what pin 😀. I also wasn't able to upload simple HelloWorld after it happened with connected wires. But then I disconnected all my wires from the board and the upload works fine.
I can not figure out the WHY factor but I think it must had been the input/data pin I was using, in my case D13. I have the DevKit with fewer pins. Maybe someone can comment why connected pins may make the error come up?
To make your ESP32 board go into flashing/uploading mode automatically, you can connect a 10 μF electrolytic capacitor between the EN pin and GND. When I had the same problem, when I followed this advice, the problem was solved.

espressif/arduino-esp32 - issue
On some AliExpress-like ESP32s you have to press the boot button in order to upload your sketch.
If you are watching the Arduino IDE console ouput and Connecting ... appears, you have to press the boot button for approximately 2 seconds until the console output changes.
Try to do this one after the other
Press the boot button when press uploading button until it write the code.
Try disconnect esp32 from the board/header/pcb that you are using right at the time.
Disconnect any other connection that your esp32 might have.
Do not connect to anything even your hand if possible.
Try put it in something that doesnt have a moist surface. look pic number 3.
MY CASES(30 pin version):
Case 1: I dont know why. I was connecting the pin to a female header it doesnt work and sometimes it just work like that. look pic number 1.
Case 2: when Im holding esp32 on my hand sometimes it wont work then i put it on my table and another time it doing well.
Case 3: pressing boot button when uploading it helped sometimes, and the other time it just work like it should.
Case 4: when it connected to pcb its simply just wont work, but when disconnected boom it work like nothing ever happen. look pic number 2.
Maybe just maybe something with capacitive or something like that (just assuming because number Case 1). hope that will help you out.

This technique definitely working
Goto Tools > programmer, Select ISP and Upload Your Code.
if you can't see any programmer, then download 1.8.12 version.
https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/OldSoftwareReleases
With Arduino IDE
Make sure the Com port is selected under Tools menu. My experience with ESP32 is Com 5.
If it is not available as an option, try changing USB ports and/or re-select Tools - Board - ESP32 dev module.
Watch the "Compiling Sketch" window.
Press the "Boot" button as soon as you get the red message "Serial port Com 5" You can release the button as soon as it starts to upload.
If this doesn't work,try plugging into another USB port.
The Reset button only resets the uploaded sketch to re-initialise and has nothing to do with the uploading.
Install expressif.exe and port drivers,connect the port and flash the esp32 ,upload the code using ardiuno,solve the error
in my case buttons are new but not shorting properly as multimeter showed ..opened both scratched resoldered and all working
Changing by upload speed from 921600bps to 115200bps fixed it. No need to press any buttons.
Just download the drivers x)

I'm trying to learn how to use the Adafruit Flora, and I have followed the guides below:
https://learn.adafruit.com/getting-started-with-flora/windows-setup
https://learn.adafruit.com/getting-started-with-flora/blink-onboard-led
But, I'm struggling withe connecting to a port. It's greyed out in my IDE and I have tried a lot of things like, booting to BIOS and changing the settings to auto, to looking in for any hidden devices in the device manager window. I can't see a "Ports COM" section there and it's preventing me from uploading anything to the flora.
Arduino: 1.6.11 (Windows 10), Board: "Adafruit Flora"
Couldn't find a Board on the selected port. Check that you have the correct
port selected. If it is correct, try pressing the board's reset button
after initiating the upload.
Please help!
First of all check your usb cable. It might be faulty one or it could be charge only. If your board light/blink, it mean power lines are ok. But if there is no action from OS, there might be communication lines broken or missing.
I played for the hole day with my Lilypad USB, and out of the blue it stopped working.
The port in the Arduino IDE is gray (even if i am running as an admin). The device is no more shown the /dev/ or in the device manager for window.
In windows when i plug the device is and push the reset button twice i can see the device under other devices but after a few second the device disappears.
How can i resolve this matter? Is there another hardware factory reset method?
Please help.

I am working with an Arduino Nano.
avrdude: ser_open(): system can't open device "\.\COM1": the system cannot find the file specified
This error appears just after uploading the program on the Arduino board. I have checked my port in my device manager. It says COM11 and in the Arduino software as well COM11 is selected.
I have the Arduino Nano board selected in my Arduino software. Also, there mustn't be any specification error while downloading the software file. Is there anything that I am missing?
This is how I solved the problem. In Device Manager you will find the Arduino COM port.
Go to the Advanced properties of the port
Set the COM port number to COM1.
Then replug the USB.
Instead of changing the COM port in Device manager, if you're using the Arduino software, I had to set the port in Tools > Port menu.
My issue was due to what physical USB female port I plugged the Arduino cable into on my D-Link DUB-H7 (USB hub) on Windows 10. I had my Arduino plugged into one of the two ports way on the right (in the image below). The USB cable fit, and it powers the Arduino fine, but the Arduino wasn't seeing the port for some reason.
Windows does not recognize these two ports. Any of the other ports are fair game. In my case, the Tools > Port menu was grayed out. In this scenario, the "Ports" section in the object explorer was hidden. So to show the hidden devices, I chose View > show hidden. COM1 was what showed up originally. When I changed it to COM3, it didn't work.
There are many places where the COM port can be configured.
Windows > Control Panel > Device Manager > Ports > right click Arduino > Properties > Port Settings > Advanced > COM Port Number: [choose port]
Windows > Start Menu > Arduino > Tools > Ports > [choose port]
Windows > Start Menu > Arduino > File > Preferences > # very bottom, there is a label named "More preferences can be edited directly in the file".

I was having this same issue this morning. When I checked my Device Manager, it showed COM4 properly, and when I checked in the Arduino IDE COM4 just wasn't an option. Only COM1 was listed.
I tried unplugging and plugging my Arduino in and out a couple more times and eventually COM4 showed up again in the IDE. I didn't have to change any settings.
Hopefully that helps somebody.
Changing the port in Device Manager works for me. I was also able to fix it by finding the port that Arduino was using and then select it from the Adruion IDE from tools menu Tools>Port>Com Port
First, open Device Manager by searching for it in the Windows search bar.
Then, click ports and right click the port the Arduino is connected to. Then, go to Port settings → Advanced. Next, select any port that is not in use and is not the port the Arduino is currently connected to. Then click OK and unplug + replug your Arduino. This works most of the time with any Arduino board.
My solution: TOOLS > Processor > "old bootloader"
I am using Prolink PSH300 HSUPA GSM Modem connect to my laptop and using tera term to test the connect.
First I entered AT it will response me OK
AT
OK
AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CMGS="+6581XXXXXX" (then I pressed enter error was returned)
ERROR
Sometime it won't return me error but just hang there no > return.
Could anybody advise me what to do?
In your port initialization I would suggest you add these two lines-
port.DiscardOutBuffer();
port.DiscardInBuffer();
These will do a PurgeComm native WIN32 call, that will be resetting the hardware flow control lines.
Also add DtrEnable/RtsEnable = true lines to before opening the port connection.
Scenario: My nokia mobile conected to pc over bluetooth link.
commands: at (result ok), at+Cmgf=1(ok), but at+cmgs="mob.no">"hello"ctrl+z (result +cms error 500). I solved it by making a small change to extra initialisation setting in bluetooth modem. How, i explain here.
conrol panel -> phone and modem -> selected the blue tooth modem -> click properties. In the dialog window that opens goto advance tabs and change the existing extra initialisation commands: from whatever existed to any of the following as mentioned in the website below:
cksaheb.blogspot.in/2011/03/extra-initialization-command-for-gprs.html. My problem for sending sms solved.
I have the same problem. you must check antena connection.
Your GSM can't fine the network.
