According to our tutorial book, users expect to find these options
in the Cursor IDE console. However, after the Cursor IDE 0.45.11 update, they may see these instead
"Since Cursor IDE is frequently updated, its user interface (UI) design may change as well.
Click "Open Project" and select a folder to locate your project. The following procedures should remain the same as in the tutorial book.
I cannot create virtual environment.
When you creating a virtual environment in Cursor IDE, you may be notified that python is not installed:
This issue might occur due default Python installation setting.
During Python installation, make sure to check "Add Python to PATH"
If you need to run the installer again, you can select "Modify" and check "Add Python to environment variables".
After installation, you might need to restart your command prompt or computer for the PATH changes to take effect.
If adding Python to PATH cannot solve the issue, try to use
python -m venv venv
to create your virtual environment.
The module 'venv' could not be loaded.
If your Cursor IDE shows this message
PS C:\Users\EIM\Desktop\AI proejcts> venv\scripts\activate.bat
venv\scripts\acrivate.bat : The module 'venv' could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module venv'.
At line:1 char:1
+ venv\scripts\activate.bat
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (venv\scripts\acrivate.bat:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoLoadModule
This error might occur since Cursor IDE's integrated terminal typically defaults to PowerShell on Windows systems.
To active your virtual environment in PowerShell, try to use the following commend:
.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
Using PowerShell is a common practice in many modern IDEs (like VS Code) because PowerShell offers more advanced features compared to the traditional Command Prompt (cmd.exe).
About Thonny IDE
My STEPico is not shown in Thonny IDE
Sometimes, your STEPico may not be detected or displayed in the Thonny IDE.
You could use the following methods to solve the problem:
Try using the USB cable included in the learning kit (some cables are power-only and don’t support data transfer)
Try using a different USB port
Check whether your Stepico is functioning properly. In some extreme cases, STEPico may be damaged due to solder joints falling off.
My STEPico is detected but the program does not work
This commonly happens when the interpreter is not properly set.
Make sure to select the MicroPython interpreter before running any MicroPython program.

If your problem is complex, in addition to providing the operating system details and error log, you may also take screenshots or photos to give our technicians more comprehensive information.
When taking screenshots, please ensure the image resolution is not too low.
For circuit photos, choose a suitable shooting angle or provide multiple angles to clearly demonstrate the hardware condition.
