For some models of mr3020 need to set in putty speed 128000.

Hi I think my MR3020 is bricked and would like to try this method. Do you need to run a sketch on the arduino for this to work? I didn't see any mention of programming the arduino.

hello, non you dont need to run any sketch, you will just use arduino just a normal USB TTL Serial cable.
