bricked my microbit, but fixed it
Sharing a tale.
Blocky coding inside chrome browser on android using the makecode.microbit.org editor takes forever. It is way slower than propeller coding on windows.
I thought it locked, so I pulled the usb. the microbit would only boot in MAINTENANCE mode. The firmware( 0255_kl27z_microbit_0x8000.hex ) from the microbit.org website wouldnt drop in. kept giving out of bounds address fail.txt.
Made a ticket on their website and they got a file
nrf52820_microbit_if_crc_5dd23001a7_gcc.hex
and that successfully loaded onto the maintenance drive.
So its fixed and I can now code using the makecode editor.
But that sure is a long copytime compared to the prop.
