Raspberry Pi Pico factory reset
Posted: Fri Jul 16, 2021 2:14 pm
Hi,
I have uploaded a main.py to my pi pico that works with UART and writes on a file at the same time. As a result the pi pico hangs and can not continue. (I have added a periodic flashing code as well to determine the health of the program).
Now I just want to get rid of main.py but every time I plug it into the USB whether I hold BOOTSEL or not it starts running and hanging !!!
Is there a way to tell pi pico to start without running the main.py ?
I tried to connect pin 11 (RUN(RESET)) to the Ground but it cause the board to stop being a usb storage as well !
so I am really out of options to prevent that code to run.
When I hold the BOOTSEL button and connect the USB I see this error message when I try to connect using rshell :
also my rshell is pico friendly.
I am sure all of these goes back to that problematic main.py.
I should get rid of it or factory reset the board.
Please introduce me more options to delete or prevent main.py from running ....
