thingy connect

Wow need a bit of help the Thingy worked once did the update and now it is totally useless its a breathing blue light emitter? Nothing can see it MacBook, iPhone and no apparent way to reset? I can make a quick flashing yellow light by turning on with button depressed. Now I'm depressed no other tools that can run natively on Mac? nRFGo installed but still no joy...nothing can see it? iPhone app seems to time out trying to do anything. Help me Obi-wan...

  • Thingy can always be recovered but ways varies from very easy up to medium hard;) Key is knowledge about what exactly happened: did you attempt to upgrade FW? Over the air or over wired bootloader? If you attempted to flash your (or some random) FW which was untested and caused some hard faults so device is not accessible in "application bootloader (DFU)" mode then you would need to flash it over SWD (JTAG), typically by SEGGER J-Link or similar HW/SW solution (cheapest and most proven is SEGGER J-Link OB which is on every nRF5x DK board, costs ~$40 and can flash any Nordic target through various SW tools compatible with Win/Mac/Linux platforms...)
