Playing around with the new “webserial” connection as described here: > **[Code.org](https://studio.code.org/maker/setup)** > > Anyone can learn computer science. Make games, apps and art with code. But when I push the “connect to board” test button using a Circuit Playground Express, I get a pop-up window with “no compatible devices found” message. I ensured that “Sites can ask to connect to serial ports” option is selected. as suggested here: > **[Circuit Playground now works directly with your browser!](https://support.code.org/hc/en-us/articles/9953258694669)** > > We’re excited to announce that the Maker App and Serial Connector Chrome App are no longer required for connecting Circuit Playground boards for certain browsers and devices! All Chromebooks v90 an... Chrome is updated and tried another usb port. I know the CPX works - I’ve been playing with it using Makecode’s stuff. Any other ideas? Thanks! ---

Hi Gordon, Have you tried [updating the firmware](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-circuit-playground-express/code-org-csd)? When our boards don’t connect in Maker App, that will usually fix it. Good luck! ~Michelle
