Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/safijari/openpuck/issues/90

I've been having the issue with disconnects in steam controller mode (#72) and I want to try out this firmware . This would be my first time installing new firmware on my board since I got it and initially flashed the OpenPuck firmware.

When clicking Reboot to Serial DFU on the web config page, the device disconnects, but still reconnects as a steam puck, so I can't install new firmware. The same happens when clicking Reboot to UF2 Bootloader, and even when trying to factory erase. In the factor erase case, the settings and pairings are erased, but the device still connects as a steam puck.

I see these read and write errors in the log.

Can you get into DFU by shorting the RST and GND pins twice in quick succession?

Yes, that worked. Figured this should be reported however since those options were not working

I can't repro unfortunately. What board are you using?

I was using an AITRIP board but I bought another brand (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807018711621.html) as well that was also having the issue. I tried everything again using https://safijari.github.io/openpuck/ and the latest commit from main and I'm no longer having the issue on either board.
