Cannot connect to Arduino Nano Connect above version 4.0.6 but PICO appears to connect fine

[paulbuzzby]

Please provide a clear and concise description of the bug along with logs

What are the steps to reproduce this issue?

1. Install a version of the extension above 4.0.6. Version 4.0.6 connects fine
2. Attempt to connect to nano connect board and it fails
3. Fails to connect via auto connect (which I never got working) or via manual connect

What happens?

VScode will NOT connect to the nano

What were you expecting to happen?

Expecting VSCode to connect to Nano and start vREPL

Any logs, error output, etc?

(To get extension logs see Terminal > Output > Extension Host and copy output concerning pico-w-go or micropico)
(If it’s long, please paste to https://gist.github.com and insert the link here)

No errors beyound it saying it cannot connect

Any other comments?

Extension is unable to list available ports and i thought it used to copy available ports to the clipboards.

Tested with 2 different nano connects. One running ARDUINO_NANO_RP2040_CONNECT-20241025-v1.24.0
the other running ARDUINO_NANO_RP2040_CONNECT-20241025-v1.24.1
firmwares.

No difference from either device.

Which version of MicroPico are you using?

Reverted to 4.0.6. but checked again the 3 higher versions and they all fail
