Resetting the Thrifty Nova

Sometimes, you may need to restore your Thrifty Nova controller to its factory firmware. This can be done by following these steps:

  1. Prepare the USB Cable:

    • Make sure you have a USB-C cable ready.

  2. Hold Down the Reset Button:

    • Press and hold the reset button on the Thrifty Nova.

  3. Connect the USB Cable:

    • While holding the reset button, plug the USB-C cable into the Thrifty Nova and then into your computer.

    • The Thrifty Nova will appear on your computer as a removable storage device, just like a flash drive.

  4. Transfer the Reset File:

    • Drag and drop the provided .UF2 file onto the Thrifty Nova "flash drive."

    • The controller will automatically reset the firmware

Why Reset?

  • Starting Fresh: If the controller loses power when flashing firmware, the firmware can be corrupted. Restoring to default will fix this corruption.
