Hello all, been lurking for a while. Sifting through this place has been very helpful, but I've reached an issue that searching could not resolve.
I've got a T3.6 installed in a breadboard and running on external power (12v to 5v buck converter, connected to Vin) with the vUSB trace cut. I uploaded to it maybe 30-35 times over 3 or 4 hours as I refined the code for my project. Uploading automatically was somewhat inconsistent. 5 or 8 times I had to do it manually, then the last time, I got no response from the program button. I thought I had fried the board as I was moving wires around quite a bit, but the T3.6 is still running my code. If I open the serial monitor, it's running normally and I have full control over the running program.
I've found posts about this issue, and while I haven't tried heating or cooling the board, none of the other "squint out of one eye while sticking your tongue out and channeling your chi to press the button just right" solutions have worked. No combination of twisting or flexing the board and mashing the button will get 'er going. Are there any other suggestions before I break out the heat gun?
Thanks.
