How do I reset my main.py file?

Post by ozigzagor » Wed Jul 08, 2020 5:37 pm

I kinda messed up the code in my board and now it won't connect to the REPL. I need to fix this. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I detached the REPL from UART0, which was sort of an apparent (but hopefully recoverable) suicide for my D1 Mini.

You can always erase the flash with esptool.py and have a fresh new start.

Can you copy an empty main.py via rshell? Then power cycle.

Thanks for the reply. Didn't try it as Robert's solution already worked.
