Before you start

      
    
        
  1. Use desktop Chrome or Edge: they can talk to USB devices. Safari and Firefox cannot.
    2. 
        
  2. Connect the Tab5 to the computer with a USB-C data cable. A charge-only cable will not show a port.
    3. 
        
  3. Close anything else using the Tab5's port: Arduino IDE, PlatformIO monitor, M5Burner.
    4. 
        
  4. Press Connect and install and choose the Tab5's port in the list (on Windows it is a COM port).
    5. 
      

    

  






  
After installing

  
    
    
  1. Restart the Tab5 with its button. It does not restart by itself after installing,
      and only a restart with the button brings the sound up.
    2. 
    
  2. Pick a mode on the start screen and play. The user guide
      walks through every screen and key.
    3. 
    
  3. Later versions can be installed over WiFi, without a computer: see “WIFI FILES & firmware update”
      in the user guide.
    4. 
  






  
Install by hand

  
For a browser without USB support, or if you prefer the command line.
  Download the four files into one folder:

  
  
    
    
  1. Install esptool: pip install esptool
    2. 
    
  2. In the folder with the files, run (put your port instead of COM3, e.g. /dev/ttyACM0 on Linux):
      
    …
    3. 
    
  3. Restart the Tab5 with its button.
    4.
