Great update, just one small tweak


ESP32:
If you have an existing WLED install, you can flash the .bin.gz image using the Config -> Security & Updates -> Manual OTA Update option in the web interface. Otherwise, follow the instructions [here](/basics/install-binary/#flashing-method-2-esptool).

bin is more commonly used than bin.gz

.gz is only used for ESP02 (with limited flash size) though it can work on other ESP8266.

I had to use .gz on my ESP8266 because the .bin wouldn't work. Does .gz not work for all devices? I figured it was sort of the lowest common denominator.

OK, I assume this is explained elsewhere, so I just removed the reference to the .bin.gz file here.

BTW regarding OTA updates: It is also possible to update OTA directly from PIO using correctly configured environment. I.e.

upload_protocol = espota
;upload_port="192.168.xxx.xxx"
upload_port="wled-test.local"
