Recently I upgraded from the mini-rambo 1.3 to a Jackpot V1 for my LR2.
After the jackpot arrives I realize that none of my endstops are not going to fit so I go on amazon, order a ribbon cable, some pin headers and then a few blank breadboards. wire up a breakout board earlier this week and test all the endstops. Looks like its going to work better than ever.
Edit the config, Upload, Board becomes uncontactable.
Turns out I have a syntax error which is stopping boot before the wifi is setup.
So I find the only micro-USB in my house, which turns out to be a charge only cable, Order one on amazon, and when the Cable arrives, I take the ESP-32 out and bring it to my real computer to re-jig it, Works perfectly fine inside the house.
Then when I go to plug it into the into the jackpot out in the shed I accidentally plug it in backwards without realizing.
While trying to figure out why the AP has not appeared I smell the smell, pull the power on the board and realize I plugged it in backwards.
so after 30-90 seconds of being connected I pull the power and bring the esp32 back into the office.
Now the board is “contactable” but:
- Cannot flash from the web installer
-
Cannot be re-programmed from the Ardunio IDE
-
Cannot be detected by the Espressif IDE.
-
Connecting via FluidTerm has the device looping the following:
rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x33 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
invalid header: 0xffffffff
invalid header: 0xffffffff
invalid header: 0xffffffff
nvalid header: 0xffffffff
invalid header: 0xffffffff
invalid header: 0xffffffff
invalid header: 0xffffffff

I have resigned to getting a new esp32-wroom-devkitC from amazon and hopefully I am able to finally get my LR2 up and running.
But in the meantime, Does anyone have any recovery tips for trying to get the ESP32 back to life ?
Once the esp32 arrives will I find that I fried something on the jackpot also ?
