Flashing your Arduino

Programming the ESP8266:

The two main basic steps to flasing the Esp8266 are:

1. Compile/upload arduino code by selecting the right board, COM port, and clicking upload (looks like a right arrow).

2. Flash the data directory by opening the sketch and selecting Tools -> Sketch Data Upload for your board. Make sure the Serial Monitor is not in use for the selected COM port.

[TODO] Document Easy Installer process. This will require less work from user and they simply can download the flasher utility and run the .bat file. This assumes they already have installed the arduino IDE, and the esp8266 board profile as this installs some other necessary things.

[TODO] figure out what the board manager installs, so we can package it all up and remove need for arduino IDE all together?
