Apparently I bought the wrong wizmote to control WLED.
I already have 3 working WLED lights with the correct wizmote RC’s.
Here I already found an apparent bin to flash onto the wizmote.
I probably will need something like this.
But then, which pins do I need to be able to flash that bin onto the wizmote?
I’m a complete noob at this btw.
Thanks in advance for anyone helping me out.
What’s the inside board of the Wizmote look like (both sides)?
You have it nicely labeled: IO0, RX, TX, GND (and Vcc missing labels).
Connect those to the UART flashing stick.
AURT flashing stick got delivered today so i tried it with my little knowledge.
I connected 5V to the only unlabeled pin.
At first I got errors but, rather quickly, I figured out I needed to put it in “formatting” mode.
Didn’t know if IO0 had to be pulled high or low for this but a brief Google search got me the answer.
Using my breadboard to extract GND to multiple points it worked like a charm.
Remote flashed succesfull and the only thing I had to update was the MAC address in WLED settings.
You are lucky, ESP is not 5V tolerant.
Ok, good to know because I have another 2 controllers to flash.
Anyway, good info for future visitors here.
Thank you for that.
Chris, I have the same remote and same issue. What program did you use and how to put it format mode for example. I would help if you have some more info so I can flash it also.
thanks !!
IO0 needs to be pulled down, connect to GND to get it in format mode.
I think I used ESPHome to flash.
You do need UART flashing stick and a small breadboard helps to split the GND pin.
Good luck!
Thx Chris I also succeded. Remote now working in wled.
Nice!
Glad to have been of some help to you.
