How to troubleshoot

Sometimes, things go wrong when we are connecting our circuit hardware or programming it. As we’ve worked through the exercises, I’ve noted some things you can try to help with issues. I usually turn to forums to see whether someone has had a similar problem or issue to what I am experiencing. You’ll find that this is one of the really positive things about using the boards we’ve chosen throughout the book – they are all very well-supported. You’ll find many help documents, tutorials, resources, and support from the community.

One of the ways to help solve issues with the QT Py ESP32-S2 board that I came across was that you can factory reset this board. I also didn’t realize that you can use this board as a drive, and when you press the reset button on it twice, if it’s plugged into your computer, it will appear as a drive. Figure 14.31 shows the drive when it is opened...
