Flash the ESP32 using EspressIf's website.

This is an alternate method to flash the ESP32.

1. Open this website in Chrome or Edge: https://espressif.github.io/esptool-js/
2. Under Program, you may keep the Baudrate at the default of 921600.

3. Click Connect.

4. Select your ESP32 device in the pop-up. Click Connect.

5. Under Flash Address, set the text box to 0x0 (instead of the default 0x1000)

6. Click Choose File: Select the firmware file (will be named something like: PABotBase-ESP32-2025032100.bin), then click Open to choose the file.

   

7. Click Program.

8. Wait for the program to flash. If successful, you should see the following in the console:

   Hash of data verified.
   Leaving...
   Hard resetting via RTS pin...
   

If instead, you get the error: Error: Invalid head of packet (0x80): Possible serial noise or corruption.. Then refresh the page, restart at step 2, but try changing the baudrate to 115200.
