How do I abandon an Ardupy execution loop

[phil.harmoniq]

I’m new to Ardupy and WIO Terminal and was messing around with python scripts and accidentally created an execution loop. When connecting the WIO Terminal to my computer I can’t access the files to fix the code. I also can’t even access the files from bootloader mode, so I have no idea how to stop my original code. It seems like I’m not the only one with this issue:

ArduPy Locking up on MAC

I have been experimenting with my WIO Terminal and have got a couple of programs to work. Now with the third try I cannot view the ArduPy files and I cannot stop a running program. It will reset and start the same program over but I am unable to switch to another. When in “Arduino” mode I can view the files there but not when it is in “ArduPy” mode. When I try to access the unit a “loading” message appears then the icon disappears and I have to reset. I tried a aip build and aip flash routi…

Wio Terminal Hung with Adupy

I was playing with ArduPy and can’t get a bad script off the device. It keeps rebooting and rerunning the script. Reset and rest to boot loader just reruns the script, or drops into Arduino mode. Is there a way to reset to factory settings, or to clear the script? The device mounts but crashes/reruns before I can open it to remove the script. Tnx.

How do you cancel/stop a bad script on Ardupy? There doesn’t seem to be any documentation for this scenario.

I encountered the similar question just now.
And… I solved this problem with a quite strange solution.
You know, wio terminal support not only Ardupy, but also CircuitPython.
So you can burn the CircuitPython .uf2 file (https://circuitpython.org/board/seeeduino_wio_terminal/) to the board in bootloader mode.
And then, you will find you can have access to the file system and also to your codes (but it won’t execute as the environment is different), and you can edit your codes now.

Thank you! I was able to get into the filesystem and fix my code.
