Hey everybody! So as many of you may know, I’ve been working on [custom firmware for my Meowbit.](https://forum.makecode.com/t/a-new-way-to-use-meowbit/38143) I had finally overcome a major issue that had been stopping me, and I finally got a file made. Unfortunately, I didn’t make the correct file. I only created a flasher.uf2 file which I then flashed to my Meowbit, thus overwriting all other files, including the files for USB support. So now my meowbit just has a black screen when turned on, and when I plug it into my computer it says that it’s not recognized. I tried DFU mode, but it seems that doesn’t work either now. So a s a last resort, I asked ChatGPT for help and it said that I could use an ST-Link Programmer to bring it back. The only issue is it says I need to find the following pins on my Meowbit: GND, 3V, SWDIO, and SWCLK. I found GND and 3V, but I have no clue where the other two are. @richard or anybody else where can I find these pins? Or is there another way to fix my Meowbit? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks so much! ---

Also I should probably mention that the light on it still turns on. ---
