@vintprox unos have a separate chip to load data on to main chip. Those are hard to brick. Not impossible, just hard.
What is wrong with Putty? Its a really nice tool. -
@Demolishun nothing, but after installing a good 50 packages of build chain for the esp32 stuff it triggered me, how we now also need a gui tool for a bit of `screen /dev/ttyUSB0`.
Especially because they explain the actual coding and mechanics not that child friendly, and it annoys me.
Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this
Coding for MCUs gets more and more surreal every day.. On one hand we're cooding oldschool heavy metal C or C++, but on the other hand they tell you to use PuTTY to check if there is a working serial connection - what the fuck?
Also the IDEs they suggest you. VSCode or Eclipse. Both are so unbelievable unusable for this, even with plugins, I would compile this shit via CLI myself before using them.
It just feels so contrary - they act like professionals and just spit out 200 uncommented lines of C to start WiFi on the ESP32 - not explaining a single fucking thing, but on the other hand, they checked the connection via PuTTY after writing some uwu kawaii shit into Eclipse.
Not to mention Arduino with their FUCKING SKETCHES.
