Missing documentation for flashing #7

Documentation should mention you need to wire the IO0 pin to ground in order to flash the ESP32 chip.

Wow thanks for this, unfortunately it still doesn't work to flash it for me -- any other things you found missing in the instructions?

Majr25 commented 1 month ago

Nothing else I can think of for actually doing the flash, if you're able to read the contents fine so you know you've got the rx/tx wired up correctly. If you do the flash but get errors when booting (after disconnecting IO0), make sure you picked the modern image when downloading from esphome.

Unfortunately, sudo esptool.py chip_id just fails, so I assume I wired something else up incorrectly (though it looks like nothing is shorted based on my continuity tests). Thanks for solving at least one of my issues though!
