Connect Your ESP32-S3
Plug your ESP32-S3 into your computer using a USB-C data cable. The ESP32-S3 uses native USB — no external USB-UART chip needed!
Check Device Manager (Windows)
Open Device Manager → Ports (COM & LPT) → look for "USB JTAG/serial debug unit". Note the COM port (e.g., COM10).
Navigate to Connect Tab
Click the "Connect" tab above. Close Arduino IDE or any serial monitors first — only one app can use the port at a time!
Grant Browser Permission
Click "Connect" and your browser will show a popup to select a serial port. Choose your ESP32-S3 device and click "Connect".
Read Your Steps!

Go to the "Flash" tab and click the "Download 2026update1.bin" button. Save the file somewhere you can find it (e.g., your Downloads folder).
Plug in Your Device
Connect your ESP32-S3 via USB-C. No need to press BOOT — the flasher resets the chip into download mode automatically.
