 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Hello, i made the mistake to set the OPTION GUI CONTROLS 75 at the beginning of my program with activated autorun. Now it loops endless by restarting the system. I have a Pico with LCD and keyboard via Tera Term. How to escape the Loop? |

Page 5 on the manual I think. You need to flash in the Clear_Flash.uf2 ,then put the firmware back. It is possible for the flash memory to be corrupted resulting in unusual and unpredictable behaviour. In that case you should load the firmware file Clear_Flash.uf2 which will reset the Raspberry Pi Pico to its factory fresh state, then you can reload the PicoMite firmware. I think this will get you out of the loop, not sure if a simpler way exists. F4 H7FotSF4xGT |

Numerous people have been caught by enabling Autorun too soon. The program must be proven bug free before doing that. If Ctrl-C doesn't work, as noted above Clear_Flash will. I hope you have backups of your program, flash slots and Drive A: - it wipes everything. Another less drastic method that might leave the flash slots and Drive A: intact (no guarantee) is to re-flash with a .uf2 (via the BOOTSEL button) that is one revision older or newer than the current one. If you are lucky it may erase just the program. |
