MEGA
Check here to learn how to use this branch and help us improving ESPEasy: http://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/ESPEasy#Source_code_development
To make it easier to get started, one may flash a build directly to the ESP from your browser. Currently only Chrome and Edge are supported.
See this flash page to try the new web flash feature.
The web flasher is using ESP Web Tools made by the people behind ESPHome and Home Assistant.
On demand, controlled by the repo owner, our build-bot will build a new binary release: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases
The releases are named something like 'mega-20210501' (last number is the build date)
Depending on your needs, we release different types of files:
The name is built up from a few key parts:
ESPEasy_mega_[releasedate]_[build-type]_[opt-arduino-library]_[hardware-type]_[flash-size]__[filesystem-size]_[opt-build-features].bin
