The Oak by Digistump => Oak Support => Topic started by: gorgonaut on May 13, 2016, 12:06:12 pm

I was fiddling with different examples in Arduino IDE and uploading them remotely (very cool to be able to do this while at work and Oak is at home, BTW!) But then I got a little too adventurous and uploaded non-oak examples, I believe it was the Blynk Oak example, but it may have been another generic ESP8266 example. Anyway, now the Oak just powers up with a solid status LED always on, and it won't connect to Particle.
What is the best procedure to fix this? Do I need to perform the factory restore? Has my device ID been overwritten, potentially? I haven't done any serial programming for this yet, but I have a USB-TTL cable available...

See if you can get you Oak to boot into Safe mode - this will let you load new code on it.
Connect P1 to GND, and power up the oak. After 2-3 seconds, remove the P1 -GND link, and you should see the P1 led blinking, and you should be able to re-program the Oak. as to the cause of the crash, I can't help you on that as I haven't played with Blynk yet.

Thank you!
