I have seen instructions on how to update the esp-01 module.
But have anybody managed to update the esp-05 module.
This module only seems to have rx,tx,vcc and gnd accesible.
Any hints on how to update these modules would be appriciated.

Best regards
Søren

Had to cut the short trace between VCC and GPIO0 (2nd pin on the edge nearest to RDX module pin) and solder a thin wire, plus some hot glue to hold it in place.

Its an old firmware version, so no cloud update.
I will look into modyfying the PCB so it can be updated.
