We have just released a new GUI application called meshtastic-flasher that will hopefully make the process of setting up your meshtastic devices much easier.
Please test and post any issues to GitHub!

This is supernice!
I notice it needs a very late meshtastic installed. It first crashed when starting but a
pip install --upgrade meshtastic
solved that problem.
Does it do a full install or just an update?
(thinking of the scripts in the zip file)
Edit: Found the advanced menu by pushing A: it can do both install and update

Fantastic! Thank you very much - I’ve been struggling with doing this manually. This is so simple.

Awesome, thanks for testing!
Hello all,
I have tried to flash the LILYGO TTGO ESP32, SoftRF but every time Meshtastic Flasher shows this:
User does not want to flash
I did everything, restart the Windows, but it’s still the same problem!?

Did you select no when it asked if you had meshtastic > 1.2 on the device?
Yes, I did select NO, as it has only SoftRF.
I have 2 x devices and I tried both, after I select the FLASH, it doesn’t matter I click YES or NO to Flash, in both cases Meshtastic Flasher shows:
Flash was clicked
Update only is not checked
User does not want to flash
@garth - I tried both ways and got the same message.
I also tried the advanced options with both checked, both unchecked, top checked, then bottom checked. All with the same ‘User does not want to flash’
Also, it is more of a box in a box - there is no checkmark. This is not a criticism, I just don’t know if there may be both ways to fill the box and I am just seeing one.
I did exactly as you did and the result was the same as you said!!
Update to the newest version of the flasher tool, we fixed this bug yesterday.

I had to install the silabs drivers from their website before the flashing tool would work. Consider adding this to the instructions.
Is there a way to use this to install the 1.3 beta?
the Mac Automator app does not launch even through the terminal(not even any output) which is the usual fix for non-compliant apps
