    Helper utilities for working with WLED

  • Your connections are correct, I have found info on how to do it for your controller here. https://github.com/scottrbailey/WLED-Utils/blob/gh-pages/sp511e_wled.md It could be bad connections; of it is not already try to solder your connections to the pins on the board (Io0 pulled/shorted to ground while flashing )

  • esptool

    Espressif SoC serial bootloader utility

  • I found a great method to flash that works great is with esptool.py (in the terminal) Install esptool.py (https://github.com/espressif/esptool) And then with you controller connected write in the terminal "esptool.py write_flash 0x0 ./WLED_XXX.bin" And replace the "./Wled.....bin" with the path of where you bin file is (C:/.../wled.. .bin) and it should do the trick More info about this method here on "method 2": https://kno.wled.ge/basics/install-binary/
