I'm folloing the learn guide for using Visual Studio Code with circuit python. I have CircuitPython v2 installed and open my code.py file on my CPX but I never see a place to enter the board at the bottom of the screen. VSC is looking at the file like a regular python file. I do see a Circuit Python Serion Monitor at the bottom but it is useless. I don't know what to do. Can some one help me. I am familiar with both Mu and VSC for python. I would like to use VSC. Thanks

Thank you so much for the virtual "hand holding" 🙂 . I uninstalled the extenstion and reinstalled it and things improved. I never get the information on the bottom of the screen that Liz mentions in the tutorial but your infomration about using the command palette helped. Sometimes the circuit python monitor disappears and I can only see the terminal window. if I choose th CircuitPython:open Serial Monitor, the response is that it is already open. Closing the serial monitor and reopening it dose not help. I have to close VSC and reopen it and start over. Do you know how I can restart the Serial Monitor without exiting VSC? Thanks for the help
