esp-flasher 1.1.2

ESP8266/ESP32 firmware flasher for ESP

ESP-Flasher

ESP-Flasher is a utility app for ESP8266 / ESP32 and is designed to make flashing Tasmota on ESPs as simple as possible by:

• Having pre-built binaries for most operating systems.
• Hiding all non-essential options for flashing. All necessary options for flashing (bootloader, flash mode) are automatically extracted from the binary.

The flashing process is done using the esptool library by espressif.

Installation

It doesn't have to be installed, just double-click it and it'll start. Check the releases section for downloads for your platform.

If you have Python installed you can install from PyPI: pip install esp-flasher

Linux Notes

Installing wxpython for linux can be a bit challenging (especially when you don't want to install from source). You can use the following command to install a wxpython suitable with your OS:

# Go to https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ and select the correct OS type
# here, we assume ubuntu 20.04
         sudo apt-get update
         sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libnotify-dev libsdl2-dev
         pip3 install -U \
          -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-20.04 \
          wxPython
