I built me a secondary OpenGarage unit to see if I can replace it with my commercial one since I have issues with OTA updates. I’m using NodeMCU v2 8266 module and I can program your firmware just fine using ESP8266Flasher.exe. However, when I tried to include the graphics file at address 0x300000, the process would not proceed. I tried writing just the initial file and even tried including the firmware and the graphics to write and it would appear to not even start. I suppose I could try programming it with one of the other flashing utilities.
update:
So I just tried espytool.py and it says it programmed but it was much faster than using ESP8266Flasher.exe with bigger file. When I configured, it didn’t show any graphics through the webpage.

So I was finally able to upload the SPIFFS data after compiling and selecting my correct device and using the sketch data upload option within Arduino. Initially I just tried to upload the sketch data with your compiled firmware and that didn’t work so I uploaded my compiled build then the SPIFFS afterwards. I also noticed that after the initial AP connection where it tells you your IP address, it either doesn’t reset or hard locks because I get no LED at all. I just unplug it from the USB and supply the voltage and it continues from where it should afterwards.
Since I am using a device with 4M (3M SPIFFS), the address is different for me.
