[Solved] Factory Reset without WiFi

[Elektrofreak]

Hi,

I have a problem with the ESPEasy Firmware version 147RC8. I made a wrong config and now the chip does not startup anymore. I already tried re-flashing the firmware ut it loads the old config being stored in the chip (I rarely can ping the chip for some ms within some minutes)

Currently I try to run wget infinitely to call the reset command but it never gets the url...

Is there a possibility to erase the settings to factory reset via serial programming?


PS: This is a little urgent because the heating system is failing and I don't have a spare board (and resoldering a chip is only the last chance). Configs are backed up


Edit: Just to let you know in case you have the same problem: This solved my problem

In my case:

Code: Select all

esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB1 --baud 1152000 erase_flash

Is that a command you ran in cmd (windows?)

I moved to a raspbian distribution (Raspberry Pi) which had python already installed to get rid of installing it on windows . This made it a little easier. But it should work the same way (after installing python) on windows

How to do it in windows ?
