Troubleshooting
===============
If you have issues with the ``esp8266`` not connecting on /dev/ttyUSB, but the device does show up in lsusb:
.. code:: console
$ lsusb
[..]
Bus 001 Device 019: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter
[..]
Then this might be related to a udev rule in Linux.
Removing this rule will stop udev from hijacking the USB device.
.. code:: console
sudo rm /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/*-brltty-*.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo systemctl mask brltty.path
ESPlorer
========
``ESPlorer`` is a tool that allows you to flash firmware to the ESP8266 using a GUI. This is example code on how to build and run it:
.. code-block:: consoleabap
git clone https://github.com/4refr0nt/ESPlorer.git
# Build it
./mvnw clean package
# Run it
java -jar target/ESPlorer.jar
The ``ESPlorer`` can be used to interact with the ``esp8266`` and flash binaries using a GUI.
