Hi from Osijek, Croatia. So I’ve bought the Bit set from the local store chain. Came Christmas day my son opened his gift, was thrilled, we assembled the kit, and in no time it stopped working. I immediately replaced the batteries and still it won’t turn on. Is there anything I can try or should I just return it to the store for a refund?
UPDATE! So after a couple hours of trying this-and-that I came to the conclusion that the source of the issue arises when micropyhton is installed on the device (as it was intended) after that, once disconnected from the USB the device stops working and doesn’t turn on at all. Once it is restored to stock firmware it turns on normally and works. What should I do?
hi i have same problem how to solve it
Hi,
Same problem here, please advice.
Hello! So, I had the same problem and I managed to fix it. First what you need to do is go to “Circuitmess.com”. Then create a new sketch. For device put Bit and name it whatever you want. Put editor type on visual (it doesn’t really matter). After that connect your Bit to your PC or laptop. In top right corner you will see three dots. Press them and click “Restore stock Firmware”. Then wait a moment and your Bit will be like new. I hope i helped you.

for anyone who managed to brick the Bit and have the restart (connect and disconnect) issues, just open a new sketch, click on connect in the browser, the list of the connected devices should show up.
You will see the bit jtag connecting and disconnecting after 1 second, infinitely.
The trick is to click it when it shows and immediately hit the enter key. It will start programming again as soon as it will reconnect and this way you will be able to reflash the device with micropython. You will get a stable state without disconnecting where you can continue to whatever you need to.
