I was updating my WiFi module (HW:1.2) from FW 1.5.4 to 1.6.2-12, and, despite being careful I seem to have screwed it up. When the module seemed to be done updating, the WiFi AP came back up and I was able to connect to it. But the Remote Console page that came up was a skeleton/template with no data filled in. The menu selector was also blank. So, after waiting a couple of hours to see if anything changed, I decided to power down, open it up and put the update and spiffs files directly on the sd card after reformatting it.
This is where I got stuck.
The sd card WILL NOT slide out of its socket! I tried both push-to-release and pulling straight out. I pried hard enough to snap off a fingernail! The card moves freely in and out for about half a millimeter but hits some sort of hard obstruction that is not obvious. Is there some sort of secret or do I have a defective socket?
I ran the Module again with the cover off, and I'm getting a series of short blinks on the Green LED, occasionally punctuated by a longer flash, and sometimes a longer than usual pause between the flashes. I'm guessing its an error code. Is there a key for decoding it?
