  • Hi Zhenyuan,

    Before we try to debug the Python code, we need to ensure the device is working properly.  The easiest way to check is to run Tera Term, and connect to the UART Com Port (the one you send config to).  Buad Rate is 115200/  After connecting to the Com Port, press the reset button on the device. This should print something similar to the below message:

    If nothing prints, then the device is stuck.  Let me know your results and we will go from there.

    Regards,
