Can anyone please help me?

Hi, I have a Chatter 2.0 and wanted to test if it could host a Wi-Fi server. When I first uploaded the code, it worked, but after a few more uploads, the device disconnected from my PC. Now, when I turn it off and back on while connected to the PC, it briefly detects the device before disconnecting again. Is there a way to fix this? Also, is there a solution that doesn’t require spending money? (I used Arduino IDE for the code uploading)

Never mind, I figured it out.

If anyone else runs into this issue, here’s what I did:

  1. Run:
    pip install esptool
  2. Upgrade pip (I had to, but you might not need to).
  3. Run:
    esptool --port COM# chip_id
    (Replace COM# with your actual port number.)
  4. Quickly turn your Chatter off and back on while running the above command.
  5. Run:
    esptool --port COM# erase_flash
  6. Quickly turn your Chatter off and back on while running the above command.

This should help if you’re experiencing connection issues.
