trying to flash using a CP2102 USB<>FTDI to an ESP12S wifi module
I got tasmotizer up and running (took some difficulty with ubuntu and python)
- Had to use pipx to install tasmotiser in a venv
- Had to uninstall python-opencv, then install python opencv-headless (also in the venv) to get the GUI to work
- Once the GUI was working, had no permission to access serial device, so then had to sudo su, chown (usernam) /dev/ttyUSB0
- After that, tasmotizer could be launched, but when trying to flash to the device, "timed out waiting for packet header"
I moved over to a windows machine and immediately flashed with no config or issues.
Clearly a linux thing, might be good to make a more detailed linux guide for people
