How to install the esp32 Tool?

Postby Fran_iii » Tue Sep 24, 2024 3:03 pm

Where can I download "esp32 Tools" for Windows 10?
1 - In this video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5unB24lhC4&t=1453s
at about minute 14 he discusses downloading and installing the esp32 Tool...
Which, among other things, will identify which esp32 module you have... I think.
I can't find where to download it for Windows 10.

2 - He also discusses on online version which is here...
https://espressif.github.io/esptool-js/
but when I plug in a HiLetgo board marked on the device as esp32-WROOM-32D,
but marked on the back as an esp-32s...
it fails to connect.

Thanks for any help.

1) You may be looking for this: https://github.com/espressif/esptool

2) requires a compatible browser (Chrome)

Thanks for the help!

The tool is written in Python, so the .py script/source files are what you actually need, in addition to a working Python interpreter ("python.exe") on your system.
