This is the distribution folder for ESPeasy.
In here you will find a flash tool to program the ESP module.

Also a number of binary images is included.

The filename is quite descriptive:
  ESP_Easy_mega-<date>_<buildType>_<chip>_<memorySize>.bin

Build type can be:  (differ in included plugins)
- normal  => Only Stable plugins and controllers
- test    => Stable + Testing
- dev     => Stable + Testing + Development

There is also a number of special builds:
- normal_IR => "Normal" + IR receiver/transmitter plugins and library
- hard_xxxxx => Special builds for some off-the-shelf hardware.
- normal_core_241 => "Normal" using core 2.4.1, since 2.4.2 has issues with PWM

Chip can be:
- ESP8266      => Most likely option
- ESP8285      => Used in some Sonoff modules
- ESP32        => Experimental support at this moment
- ESP8266PUYA  => For ESP modules with a flash chip labeled "PUYA" (often 1 MB)

The "PUYA" version deserves a bit more attention.
If you cannot save settings, better try to see if the flash chip has "PUYA" written on it.
If so, try the "PUYA" build.

MemorySize can be:
- 1024  => 1 MB flash modules (e.g. almost all Sonoff modules)
- 2048  => 2 MB flash modules (e.g. Shelly1/WROOM02)
- 4096  => 4 MB flash modules (e.g. NodeMCU/ESP32)

ESP32 now has 2 builds:
- esp32dev   Using the default partition layout (1.4 MB for the sketch)
- esp32test_1M8_partition   Larger sketch partition (1.8MB) smaller SPIFFS (316 kB)

Please note that changing between those versions will destroy the settings!
The SPIFFS partition will be lost and that contains all settings.


To help recover from a bad flash, there are also blank images included.
- blank_1MB.bin
- blank_2MB.bin
- blank_4MB.bin

When the wrong image is flashed, or the module behaves unstable, or is in a reboot loop,
flash these images first and then the right image for the module.
