EarGear Web Flashing Tool

Web-based tool to update TailControl^™ ESP32 devices in the browser.

This application will install TailControl on EarGear^® devices. To get started, connect an EarGear device to your computer with a USB cable and hit the blue button:

Connect The tool is not available because your browser does not support Web Serial. Open this page in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge instead (but not on your iOS device). Ah snap, you are not allowed to use this on HTTP!

How to Use This Tool:

1. Using Chrome or Edge, visit this page.
2. Plug your EarGear into your computer.
3. Click the "Connect" button.
4. You should be prompted to select a USB port.
   1. Choose the entry named “USB JTAG/serial debug unit” (on Windows it looks like “USB JTAG/serial debug unit (COM4)”). EarGear connects through the ESP32’s built-in USB, so that is almost always the correct port.
   2. Not sure? Open the port list before plugging EarGear in and note what’s listed, cancel, plug EarGear in, click “Connect” again, and pick the entry that just appeared.
   3. Click the port so it is highlighted and the “Connect” button becomes active, then press “Connect”.
   4. On Windows the port may instead be labelled “USB Serial Device (COM#)” — that is normal and works. A driver is only needed on very old or restricted machines; the “No port selected” dialog links to it.
5. Select "Install TailControl" from the dialog box. It should now start flashing, when it's finished you should have a flashed device!
