Program the HUZZAH ESP8266

For the HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout buttons for GPIO0 and RESET are built in to the board. Hold GPIO0 down, then press and release RESET (while still holding GPIO0), and finally release GPIO0.

$ sudo esptool --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash

• Upload firmware

  $ esptool --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_size=detect 0 firmware.bin
  ## Press hold left button, then click reset, upload begins.
