Flash the receiver right in your browser
Connect the ESP32-C5 to your computer via USB and click Connect & Flash. No install, no drivers: the receiver derives its ID automatically from its own hardware address and shows up over Bluetooth in the V2X2MAP app right after it reboots.
Firmware v0.2.4 · ESP32-C5
⚠️ Couldn’t start automatically — put the board into bootloader mode by hand:
- Seeed XIAO ESP32-C5: hold BOOT (B), tap RESET (R) once, then release BOOT
- Tick “already in bootloader mode” above
- Click Connect & Flash again and re-select the same port
Works in Chrome, Edge & Opera on a computer (Web Serial). Safari, Firefox and mobile
devices aren’t supported — use the
desktop flasher there.
How it works
- Plug the ESP32-C5 receiver in with a USB cable
- Click Connect & Flash and pick the serial port (e.g. “USB JTAG/serial debug unit”)
- Flashing runs automatically — takes about a minute
- Unplug the receiver from USB once and plug it back in — this power-cycle is needed for the new firmware to start cleanly
- Done! Open the V2X2MAP app on your phone — the receiver appears over Bluetooth
