I have used my board for a few months before this. Today I connected it to my computer running the OpenMV IDE and it didn’t detect it. When I connected the board to my computer the green led briefly flashed. I then tried the unbricking procedure as descripted in the IDE without success.

Hi, the green LED means the bootloader is running on the board.

Can you do this:

Tools-\>Erase onboard Flash (should be the second option in the tools menu).

This will get rid of any scripts onboard that could be causing an issue.

Do you have any more information?

Yes, please unplug the board, run it, and then plug the board in. It should connect to the bootloader and erase any scripts onboard.
