You can add custom Commands using the serialcommands.txt way.
Have fun with controlling everything!

That function is to explore folders only, so there is no Ok button to press. To select a upload file you must use the firmware (.bin) drop down box. If no files are seen in the drop down then that means you have an empty (or missing) /bin folder for the firmware files.I click on the "open folder" button, an explorer windows open where I select a file but there is no OK button to accept the file so there is no way for me to enter the bin file in the application
Thanks for the feedback. Once I got the GUI job done I'll redo the flasher.GravityRZ wrote: ↑31 Jan 2020, 08:56 nice tool.
i use it a lot since it is really fast to flash standard esp builds
especially the post stuff like SSID and wpa2 key are nice
i have wpa2 with special characters and they do not get accepted by the esp setup page but i can send it easilly to the esp with the flasher tool
thanks
Thanks for the info.ThomasB wrote: ↑03 Mar 2020, 01:04 @grovkillen, I'm using ESP Easy Flasher version 0.04.007. As reported by GravityRZ, I also confirm that the WiFi Password field does not tolerate my credentials that have a $ (dollar sign) symbol. The command window shows the full password, but what gets stored in flash is terminated at the $ sign. For example, 1234$5678 would be saved as 1234. Just FYI.

There is a checkbox for automatically running serial commands during post flash. You can place ESPEasy commands in the file: /settings/SerialCommand.txtOr is this already implementend in the tool but did I not found it yet?<G>

Yes, same port when it works... I just run another app.
In other words, "it is probably normal" ?TD-er wrote: ↑30 Jan 2021, 14:58 It is a known issue that some USB to UART converters do not work with this flasher.
It looks like these USB devices are registered differently in Windows.
Not sure if it is a matter of "clones" or maybe a different revision triggering some other driver to get installed.
Just for your information, serial monitor works fine (same PC and Dev board) in Anduino IDE and Putty or Mobaxterm.Open serial monitor, COM port is not available
for flashing as long as this connection is open.
It appears that the flash tool is not closing the serial port after flashing. That sounds like a USB serial driver compatibility issue. I'm using Win10 with FTDI driver version 2.12.24.0 dated 09-28-2016 and it works correctly with the flash tool. If you can find that driver then try it out.I tried another USB/Serial converter (FTDI and CH340). No difference. Borh converters flash ESP successufully but can't either post flash or open serial monitor.
