Issue with updating firmware to 1.19

Software
1

Hi guys

I was trying to update to the latest firmware and not sure what happened but I believe my index.html.gz file is now not working correctly - usually I will connect to my home wifi and then goto maslow.local and will be able to see the user interface.

Before that I would connect via maslow wifi and goto 192.168.0.1

After trying to update firmware (it may have been my own fault as I tried to replace the index.html.gz file) Now both methods to access the machine are not working (I tried to disable my wifi router to force board to emit maslow wifi - no go on interface).

I was trying to flash the firmware to be able to reset it using full.install.command from one of the earlier firmwares but run into the following:

/Users/admin/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Maslow\ Firmware\ and\ Operating\ files/fluidnc-maslow4-1.16-posix/full-install.command ; exit;
Macintosh:~ admin$ /Users/admin/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Maslow\ Firmware\ and\ Operating\ files/fluidnc-maslow4-1.16-posix/full-install.command ; exit;
esptool.py --chip esp32s3 --baud 921600 dump_mem 0x3ff5a018 4 SecurityFuses.bin
./tools.sh: line 45: esptool.py: command not found
esptool failed
logout

I’ve tried installing esptool.py tools from a google search and tried multiple usbc to usba cables however am having no luck. I’ve tried on windows and mac as well. Could someone point me to what direction I may try next please?

Hmmm what lights do you see on the board?

Do you see a blinking blue light?

Hi Bar - thank you for the reply. Yes to blue blinking lights that spell out 192.168.1.118, when I try to connect to that IP address, I get a blank screen

does the page load? note that many browsers attempt to change http to https
automatically and can then cause very long timeouts or errors when they try to
load a http-only page

Hi guys, good news I was able to figure it out. Just in case anyone else is running into the same problem, I downloaded python from their website and installed it. I then ran command line

python3 -m pip install esptool

From there I performed the boot sequence by pressing down the button and plugging in USB cable. It did take trying a few more cables but I was able to have it successful identify the serial port and flashed the new firmware on the device.

I am able to access the machine now. Thanks for your help guys - much appreciated!
