 **ESPSFlashTool.jar** - This is a java based flash tool for flashing new modules or modules that can't be updated via the web interface.  It will flash the ESP module with the ESPixelStick firmware to a default state and overwrite any previous settings.  To launch the tool, you will need [Java 8](https://www.java.com) or greater. On Linux and macOS platforms, you will need launch the tool from a terminal within the extracted directory (```java -jar ESPSFlashTool.jar```).  Additionally for macOS, you will have to jump through Apple's typical security hoops to allow non-Apple signed software to run.  Once launched, simply fill in the boxes, select your harwdare and serial port, and click "Upload".
