If that happens, + there is a special hook in the firmware to force the board back + in to 'idle mode' so you can re-do the cal. To use this hook, you + just need to ground the SPI clock pin at power-on. This pin is + available as pin 2 on the 8-pin companion connector, and pin 1 is + ground. So either carefully install a fine-gauge wire jumper + between the two pins closest to the index hole end of the 8-pin + connector, or plug in the programming cable to the 8-pin connector + and use a small screwdriver or similar to short the two pins closest + to the index post on the 4-pin end of the programming cable, and + power up the board. It should come up in 'idle mode' (two beeps). + -- 2.30.2
