Hello! i recently made an espboy and had no problems with it until recently, when i wanted to compile programs using Arduino IDE into it. Each time i tried doing so, i got an esptool error and i dont know how to fix it. Whilst tampering with the IDE i tried changing the firmware of the esp8266 which worked only on my linux computer using esptool. When i found out that it was all the same i changed back to micro python which is what i think the esp8266 comes with? Now every time i try to change firmware upload compiled code i get the esptool error on windows and linux with full admin control. Eventually i gave up on trying to program on the ESPboy but found out that i cant put the wifi esp app store back on, and still get the same error of esptool and cannot access port.
I have tried to factory reset the esp8266 using the tool provided by espressif, without sucess. Right now the only program which i successfully uploaded since the incident is 2048 on the online app store.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
