Connect the esp32 board to your computer using the USBC connection port on the esp32 and a cable that will connect to your computer.

Press and hold the "boot" button then press the "reset" button and release both at the same time (shown below). This puts the esp32 into a flashing mode.

That last part is not technically true. I have the same experience that the CHG LED tends to flicker in normal mode, and to be solid off in DFU mode, but it is not actually designed to do that.

The CHG LED flickers because it has no battery connected to it. It is not clear why it stops when entering DFU mode, but in any case, with a charged battery connected it would be off in both cases.

Ah ok. Is there any other reliable indicator of when it's in DFU mode?

Hey @keerats7 ! As it mentions above, you will see the sensor power lights turn off. The device will also enumerate differently to the system. Something like ttymodem etc instead of frogsensor.

Hey @keenanjohnson , based on @damz comment it seems the CHG LED on the ESP32 may turn off, but that's unrelated to it being in DFU mode. Are you saying the green sensor lights will always turn off when in DFU mode? If so I can add that distinction that specifically the sensor lights will turn off.

The device should now appear on your machine as a serial port like "/dev/ttyACM0".

Now the command below can be run to flash the software to the device.
You can find your device within the output of:
```shell
$ ls /dev/tty*
```

Now the command below can be run to flash the software to the device. Replace the device name with yours.

```shell
$ make DEVICE=/dev/ttyACM0 flash
