Programming

The USB connector data pins are connected to the serial pins so one way to program it is to cut up a micro USB cable to pull out the data pins and connect them to a USB UART like so (Note the colours may vary depening on your cable):

Micro USB Pin	USB UART Pin
2 (White)	TXD
3 (Green)	RXD

To get into the boot loader it is necessary to short IO0 to ground. This requires opening the case which is uses triangular headed “security” screws. These can be removed with a fine flat-head screw driver or a T7 Torx driver, however they can be very tight so a right-angled driver handle may be needed to apply sufficient torque to loosen them. Once open simply short the two pads “IO0” and “G” in the block of test points while powering the device on, then program with esphome. It would also be possible to solder to the test points, however they are fine pitched so using the cable simplifies things.

Another method is to use jumper wires with DuPoint connectors inserted into the test points, alternating them so that adjacent connectors are inserted from opposite sides. This gives a tight fit and good electrical connections without any cutting or soldering. As well as the four wires for the USB UART adapter (V,G,TXD,RXD), also inserting one into IO0 and one into RST assists with entering boot mode. RST can be shorted to ground (G) instead of powering the device off and on. Note that the test point diameter and spacing is such that the round style of connectors fit well but the square profile connectors do not.
