I need to drive a pin on a device low to factory reset the device.

I need to reset a device to factory defaults by driving a certain pin to low. The device manual states "Unit reset to default, active low. Drive low to reset unit to default settings." I tried hooking the pin to ground but I don't think that worked. How do I drive an Espruino pin to low to achieve this?

Well, I was wrong when I said hooking the pin to ground didn't work. Hooking the pin to ground did work :)

Connect it to ground, or do digitalWrite(pin,0);

or:

pin.write(false);

where pin is the name of the pin (e.g. B12)

@DrAzzy and @roy.emmerich thanks for the help.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
