Which file?

Board USB (flash at 0x0)
Rev B TX_Rev_B_V5.36.bin
Rev C TX_Rev_C_V5.36.bin

Flash the file for your remote's revision. The remote can't detect it, and the wrong file won't read the buttons correctly.

Connect the USB-C port on the remote's ESP32-C3 module. How to flash: docs/flashing.md. Check the files with SHA256SUMS.txt. Calibration and the robot list are kept.
