Hi @rexnfx ,

thanks for your bug report.

Unfortunately, support for the USB IR tower has not been added yet. Therefore the "Serial Connect" button is meant to show 'true serial' devices only, I.e. native COM ports or those given by USB/serial converters.

So for the time being, you'd need to use the LEGO Serial tower or build a DIY tower yourself.

Cheers
