How do I flash the latest bin file??

pauldogg commented 3 years ago

You sure it's not already installed? Link says it was preinstalled.

@pauldogg The firmware flashed by LILYGO is pretty old. I have not made an new release in a long time. They only flash tagged releases to the boards they ship.

@peepsnet easiest way is follow the instructions in the readme to flash using platformIO, https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio#initial-setup-with-platformio A few initial steps are missing from the those instructions, namely cloning the repo and going into the firmware directory. Here's a set of instructions to run assuming you are on an Linux machine with python-pip already installed.

pip install -U platformio
git clone https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio
cd disaster-radio/firmware
pio run -t upload

Alternatively, you can wait for me (or someone else?) to make a new release and then flash the pre-built binary using esptool.py.
