### Flashing method 1: esptool
- First of all, please follow the steps to install esptool.py [here](https://github.com/espressif/esptool).
- Download the latest [release binary](https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/releases) file!
- Make sure only one ESP device/microcontroller is connected to your computer! Otherwise you could accidentally overwrite the wrong one. If you know the serial port, you can also add the `-port COM3` attribute after `write_flash`
- Exectute this command:
ESP8266
```
esptool.py write_flash 0x0 .\WLED_XXX.bin
```
ESP32 (you will need to have a bootloader installed, you can flash the Arduino blink example to do that)
```
esptool.py write_flash 0x10000 .\WLED_XXX.bin
```
- If you experience issues, run this command before trying `write_flash` again (Note: this will erase all settings stored on the ESP!)
```
esptool.py erase_flash
```
### Flashing method 2: ESP Home Flasher tool
This is recommended by some users as easier to use than esptool.
### Flashing method 3: OTA update
You can alternatively use my [basic HTTP OTA updater](https://github.com/Aircoookie/ESP8266MinimalHTTPUpdater) sketch and upload the binary! This requires the Arduino IDE and ESP8266 core installed.
If your device is already running a firmware with built-in OTA capability, you can probably use that as well.
