I recently purchased a EK2100 kit. While playing with the scripts, I followed the recommendation at the end of the EK2100 User Guide and downloaded the protoSleepCaster.py to the rf engine in the sn171 board. I mistakenly also downloaded the one named protoFlasher.py to the rf engine connected to my SnapStick and, as you can guess, Portal does not recognize the stick anymore.
All of the existing methods I have found in this forum seem to use a serial cable which is not included with the kit and I do not have available at home. I was surprised because the scripts as described do not seem to change the UART assigments so I suspect the issue is related to Portal not being able to talk to the devices while they are on sleep mode. Can anybody clarify this?
Is there any method of forcing a sleeping device to accept commands from Portal? Keep in mind that the stick is not even being detected by Portal at the moment, giving the typical USB0:Read error. This are the only two engines I have available and they are both inaccessible so my options are limited. Any help would be highly appreciated.
As a note, the Jheath sticky post does not mention what to do in my case. I believe it would be a good addition to the post to add instructions for this case. Even if it is only to say, as I seem to have found in other posts, that the only solution is buying a serial cable and using the sn171 board to reset the nodes.
