Plug your BT PCB in
Use the micro USB port on the mod board connecting the cable to your PC or device you are using to get to the web app. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT CONNECT THE PSP POWER AT THE SAME TIME. This only applies if you have a soldered board with the PSP power port already connected.
​
One thing noticed in testing. Make sure you hear your computer or device chime when connecting the mod board. Some micro USB cables do not transfer date so your PC may not find it if using one of those cables. Hearing the chime is a good way to know it has connected to your PC.
Go to the program tab
The top right corner has a few tab options we are going to be in the program tab option. Then make sure you are on the most recent firmware. Clicking program and then serial is how we will flash the first time.
Possible errors while flashing
We want to warn anyone against refreshing the browser or closing it during the flashing process. It it possible to permanently damage the ESP. All ESP's will be tested and confirmed working when ordered see refund policy for more information. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Click next when ready.
Confirming the correct version
The dialog box will confirm with you the version you are currently setting to be installed. Hit program when ready.
Connect to your BT board
The COM port of your BT board should pop up in this dialog box. If you don't see anything in the dialog box click cancel and try switching to a different PC USB port.
The flash should start
Once you have clicked connect you will see a message reminding you not to refresh your browser while the flash is in process. After that the program should start on its own. Flashing through the micro USB should be very quick.
Done!
You can click close and disconnect from the micro USB port. Your BT board is ready to be installed into your PS Placeable. Use the button below to jump to the next set of guides. Making sure you have the rest of the parts ready to go.
Take a second to check the buttons.
You can keep the mod board plugged into micro USB to test the on board buttons. If you press mode the LED should blink twice and pause in a repeated pattern. If you hold mode for two seconds it should blink 3 times in a pattern. If you see this you are ready to move on to the next guide.
