SmartSpin2kFlasher is a utility app for the SmartSpin2k framework and is designed to make flashing ESPs with SmartSpin2K as simple as possible by:
- Having pre-built binaries for most operating systems.
- Hiding all non-essential options for flashing. All necessary options for flashing (bootloader, flash mode) are automatically extracted from the binary.
This project was originally intended to be a simple command-line tool, but then I decided that a GUI would be nice. As I don't like writing graphical front end code, the GUI largely is based on the ESPHome-Flasher project.
The flashing process is done using the esptool library by espressif.
It doesn't have to be installed, just double-click it and it'll start. Check the releases section for downloads for your platform.

. Alternatively, you can use the command line interface ( typesmartspin2kflasher -h
for info)
Installing wxpython for linux can be a bit challenging (especially when you don't want to install from source). You can use the following command to install a wxpython suitable with your OS:
# Go to https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ and select the correct OS type
# here, we assume ubuntu 18.03 bionic
pip3 install -U \
-f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-18.04 \
wxPython
