I keep receiving 'No MicroPython boards connected - use the connect command to add one'

I am working with a Raspberry Pi Pico W and am following Miguel Grinberg's Micropython for the Raspberry Pico W. I created a virtual environment and installed both MicroPython and rshell. I connected the board to USB while holding down the BOOTSEL button. I added the flash_nuke.uf2 file and the window closed and opened again. I then unplugged the device and installed a nightly build from the MicroPython website, again by holding down the BOOTSEL button while plugging the board into USB. I dragged the nightly build *.uf2 file to the window that popped up and the window disappeared. I then ran the rshell command and keep receiving

No MicroPython boards connected - use the connect command to add one

How do I use the connect command? Could someone point me to what might be a solution? Please let me know if you need more information.

Thank you in advance.

Hi. I've got a similar issue with an Adafruit STM32 board. After the "No MicroPython boards ..." warning, try this command: connect serial /dev/ttyACM0 This assumes a Linux serial port. You might need to use a different port name. If this works, use the -p option when you launch rshell.
