Flashing method 1: esptool¶

First of all, please follow the steps to install esptool.py here.
Download the latest release binary 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
Execute this command:

ESP8266¶

esptool.py write_flash 0x0 ./WLED_XXX.bin

What binary should I use?¶

I always recommend to use the latest release. Starting from WLED 0.12.0, pins can be configured in LED settings and specific binaries for different LED pins or types are no longer needed. Please use the following binary for these boards respectively:

Binary Name	For devices
WLED_0.x.x_ESP8266.bin	NodeMCU, Wemos D1 mini, ESP-12, all ESP8266 with 4MB flash. Recommended.
