ESP32 Marauder Kit Assembly and Programming Guide

Thank you for purchasing the ESP32 Marauder Kit! Let's get started with assembling and programming your device.

Things You'll Need

  • A computer with Google Chrome
  • A 3 mm Allen Wrench
  • An ESP32 Marauder Kit

    Programming the Device

    1. First lets program the device as the buttons are not accessible while assembled. Go to :
      Marauder Online Flasher (https://flasher.biscuitshop.us)
    2. Hold the BOOT button (bottom one) on the back of the Marauder while plugging it into your computer. The screen should stay black if done correctly.
    3. Click the connect button on the website and select the COM port associated with your device. If you have multiple COM ports, unplug the device, see which port disappears, then repeat step two and connect to the correct port.
    Connect the Device
    1. Click the dropdown menu and select CYD2USB w/o GPS. Do not choose the the one shown in the pic (Unless you purchased from me early on and your device does not have USB-C ), I have started using the new models for all order going forward.
    Select the Firmware
    1. Click the latest version (1.0.0) and click the program button. Allow it to finish without switching windows.
    Program the Device
    1. Once programming is complete, the display will stay black. Power cycle the device, and it should boot into the Marauder firmware.

    This same process can be used to update your device as new releases come out. As of July 15, 2024, Version 1.0.0 has just been released.

    Assembling the Device

    1. Take the bottom part of the case and place the ESP32 Marauder PCB into it.
    2. Install the top cover and use the 4 provided screws to fasten it to the bottom half.
    3. Insert the provided SD card into the Marauder, ensuring the gold pins face upwards toward the display.

    Happy hacking!
