The edit page is only available when the device is waiting.

If you put it in to an infinite loop you will have to connect to it with in 30 of boot and format the device or save a blank program otherwise it will be stuck.

Hi,

Thank you very much for the attention.

Does the program that I had uploaded continues to run even after I've reflashed the device?
What do you mean by connecting to it with in 30 of boot? And how can I format it?

If you connect to it and save a blank program within 30 seconds of boot or if you go the settings page and hit format you can reset back to a clean slate.

power the unit down

type the url in your browser 192.168.4.1/edit don't hit enter yet

power the unit back on.

Hit enter right away.

As soon as you see the edit page hit save so it will save a blank file.

To prevent this from happening you could put a timer for 30seconds at the start of your code.



luckily I am always able to do things quick enough without issue a couple of times I had this happen as well but with persistence you can get it working again!

Keep at it!
