## Firmware Installation

If a previous version of the Dash Gauges firmware is installed on your device's ESP32, you can update easily using the pre-compiled binary. Enter the Config Portal, click on "Update" and select the pre-compiled binary file provided in this repository ([install/dashgauges-A10001986.ino.nodemcu-32s.bin](https://github.com/realA10001986/Dash-Gauges/blob/main/install/dashgauges-A10001986.ino.nodemcu-32s.bin)) in the top file selector and click *Update*.

If you are using a fresh ESP32 board, please see [dashgauges-A10001986.ino](https://github.com/realA10001986/Dash-Gauges/blob/main/dashgauges-A10001986/dashgauges-A10001986.ino) for detailed build and upload information, or, if you don't want to deal with source code, compilers and all that nerd stuff, go [here](https://install.out-a-ti.me) and follow the instructions.

*Important: After a firmware update, the "empty" LED might blink for short while after reboot. Do NOT unplug the device during this time.*

## Sound-pack installation
14-
15-
The sound-pack is not updated as often as the firmware itself. If you have previously installed the latest version of the sound-pack, you normally don't have to re-install it when you update the firmware. Only if the "Empty" LED signals "SOS" (three short blinks, three long blinks, three short blicks) during boot, a re-installation/update is needed.

The first step is to download "install/sound-pack-dgXX.zip" and extract it. It contains one file named "DGA.bin".

Then there are two alternative ways to proceed. Note that both methods *require an SD card*.
20-

1) Through the Config Portal. Click on *Update*, select the "DGA.bin" file in the bottom file selector and click *Upload*.

2) Via SD card:
24-
- Copy "DGA.bin" to the root directory of of a FAT32 formatted SD card;
25-
- power down the Dash Gauges,
26-
- insert this SD card into the slot and
27-
- power up the Dash Gauges; the audio data will be installed automatically.
