[Espload Installer Upload Software Dos

Make sure you are running a recent desktop Chrome or Edge browser and head over to the WLED installer site!If you are updating an existing version of WLED, make sure to uncheck "Clean install" so that your settings are kept.This installer is not yet available for ESPs with flash chips smaller than 4MB (e.g. ESP01)
In case you want to flash WLED with audioreactive usermod: Several users reported that this alternative, unofficial installer site may work better: -install.github.io/.After using the standard WLED installer, microphone hardware sometimes cannot be initialized properly by WLED.
Don't use ESP Home Flasher for ESP32 boards.
On ESP32, ESP Home Flasher will make the filesystem very small (61kB), which leads to issues making presets. Please consider using WLED ESP Flasher, or the web installer or esptool.
Hold both buttons down, plug it in, start flashing, then when it tries to detect, let go of the button to the left of the USB as you look at it, then when it detects the board type, let go of the other button.
If running Windows, you need a driver from here: _driver.html before your computer will show the COM port in ESPhome Flasher. With a Wemos D1 mini you do not need to hold down the reset button while flashing.
You can alternatively use my basic HTTP OTA updater 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.
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:
