ESP8266 with CP210x from different Vendor
What were you trying to do?
Connect to ESP8266 Board
What steps did you take to trigger the issue?
When trying to connect to the AZ Delivery "ESP8266 with integrated OLED 0.91 Display" (https://www.az-delivery.de/en/products/esp8266-mikrocontroller-mit-integrierten-0-91-oled-display), Mu Editor shows "no device connected"
What did you expect to happen?
No response
What actually happened?
This board has a CP2104 compatible USB chip, Vendor ID is 0x1a86, Product ID is 0x55d4.
Other boards by AZ Delivery & others might also be affected, seams that the manufacturer of the CH340 has released a CP2104 knockoff?
Anyway, please include this board in the "valid_boards" of modes/esp.py
Operating System Version
Mac OS 11.13
Mu Version

Other Info
Thonny does find the board, but I prefer Mu Editor. Maybe (as a feature request), there should by a user-updatable list of "valid_boards" that is loaded in addition to the hard-coded boards included in the mode files.

I have an issue with ESP32 boards under Windows. MU connects properly with Si Labs CP2104 but MU does not recognize the CH9102. Thonny works properly with both the CP210x and CH910x USB/UART devices. Microcontroller board developers are switching over to the Ch910x replacement devices due to the significantly lower cost.
