#95905 The code you installed was likely meant for the ESP-01 module, which may have different pinouts or functionality than the NodeMCUesp8266 amica board.

One potential solution could be to try reflashing the firmware on the NodeMCUesp8266 amica board using the esptool.py command-line tool. This will completely wipe the current firmware and allow you to start fresh with a new program.

Additionally, it is also important to ensure that the correct serial port is selected and that the board is in the correct mode (usually "flash" mode) before attempting to upload new code.
