        <description><![CDATA[<p>I was following the commands to update the firmware with a mac as the letscode connection wasn't working and I couldn't upload any code on it, but I think I did something wrong.<br />
After following the instruction I then tried to upload the bin files and now I can only see the radar screen upon starting the module.<br />
I tried to upload the other 2 module but I get an error<br />
please help</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I have a master kit that I got from the original kickstarter, and the display is no longer appears to be working. I am able to successfully program the ESP32 from a USB interface, but there is nothing displayed on the screen at all. I have tried using both Letscode and the flash download utility to flash the game console code.  Is it possible to get a replacement module? I don't want to get an entire new kit.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been experimenting with Crowbits to understand basic sensors, triggers, and circuit behavior for small DIY projects. I’m also exploring how these concepts relate to retro hardware and emulation setups—for example, learning how old consoles handled input/output signals. For anyone interested in that side of electronics, I keep some BIOS documentation here: www.ps2biosonline.com<br />
 It is useful if you’re studying how classic systems manage boot processes while working on Crowbits-based learning projects. Would love to hear what other Crowbits projects people are building</p>

Install <em>python2.7</em> and <em>pip</em></strong></p><p>a. <em>python2.7</em> download address:</p><p><a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2715/" rel="nofollow">https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2715/</a></p><p>Please select the corresponding system python2.7 to download and install.</p><p>b. <em>pip</em> install:</p><p><code spellcheck="false">sudo easy_install pip</code></p><p>c. After the installation is complete, open the terminal and enter <code spellcheck="false">python -V</code> to see if the version is correct</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>2. Install <em>esptool.py</em></strong></p><p><em>esptool.py</em> is a small tool developed in python for ESP32, which can implement low-level operations, including flash programming and erasing. It is an open source project and the project is hosted on github.</p><p>a. Hosting address:</p><p><a href="https://github.com/espressif/esptool" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/espressif/esptool</a></p><p>b. Installation method:</p><p><code spellcheck="false">pip install esptool</code></p><p><code spellcheck="false">pip install pyserial</code></p><p>c. Test whether <em>esptool.py</em> works</p><p>Open the terminal and enter <em>esptool.py</em> to see if there is any output. If <em>esptool.py</em> is installed normally, it will output information similar to [ usage: esptool<strong> </strong>].</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>3. Erase the flash</strong> (only required for the first programming)</p><p>Connect the USB port of the ESP32 to the PC, and then enter the following command in the terminal to erase the Flash:</p><p><code spellcheck="false">esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/cu.usbserial-006CB9B9 --baud 115200 erase_flash</code></p><p>( Notice:  <em>/dev/cu.usbserial-006CB9B9</em> is the default port number of the ESP32 serial port on the MAC.

If the port name is not the default port number, please replace <em>/dev/cu.usbserial-006CB9B9</em> with the correct port name.)</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>4.
