esp32 flashing

just for my curiosity why doesn't there seem to be such hurdles when flashing using e.g ArduinoIDE, or VsCode

[jlpoltrack]

At least for VSCode, it does this transparently (can be observed when you do a verbose upload)

[olliw42]

so, you're sayin that vscode uses esptools in exatly that way, to flash all these files ?

Yea, that's where I got these files + offsets:

[olliw42]

wouldn't it maybe easier to just provide a py script which a user can call we could copy these files and esptool into a subfolder in the tools menu

@jlpoltrack besdies my questiions, I think this should go in rather quickly and not later

just two comments:

• maybe a screenshoot also for the ESP8285 case could be useful
• download the zip file isn't very convenient, since on is directed to a raw github page. Not sure, is it possible to provide a link which starts the download? I guess one also could mentgion that it's a zip file, so also need unpacking. I.e., I think this step could be a bit more dummy proof.

• ESP8266 screenshot added
• Zip link will now download the file directly
• Added in the iFlight targets as well (since the edits affect the same page) (https://github.com/olliw42/mLRS/pull/183)

except that the esp8285 won't be shown for me (says page not found when I click), it lgtm :)

THX!!!

ahh ... maybe it needs to be equal case, so the file needs to be renamed to ESP8266_Flash.png

Yea, the VSCode markdown parser didn't mind this - but fixed now.

[olliw42]

now it shows gorgeous

lgtm

MANY THX !!!
