Hi and welcome to community.
If you’re wanting to load the meshtastic firmware, you’ll need to flash the device with the tlora-v2-1-1.6 file of whatever version of meshtastic you’re choosing to flash.
The V2-1-1.6 board (label T3_V1.6 frequently) is a bit different than the previous V2 version of the board, which I believe has different pin mappings. That’s most likely why you’re seeing those issues.
Can you check that you have the device driver installed? Right click on the start button and select Device Manager, then look at the ports section, you should see something like this.
download and unzip firmware 1.0.0
cd firmware-1.0.0
and in my case cuz im in EU:
./device-install.sh -f firmware-tlora-v2-1-1.6-EU865-1.0.0.bin
then download and unzip firmware firmware-1.2.28
cd firmware-1.2.28
./device-update.sh -f firmware-tlora-v2-1-1.6-1.2.28.bin
and this from the same firmware-1.2.28 folder, if you want the web part to work again:
esptool.py --baud 921600 write_flash 0x1000 system-info.bin
esptool.py --baud 921600 write_flash 0x00390000 spiffs-1.2.28.bin
