esphomeflasher

esphomeflasher is a utility app for the esphomelib framework and is designed to make flashing ESPs with esphomelib 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 NodeMCU PyFlasher project.

The flashing process is done using the esptool library by espressif.
