How to update the Expert Sleepers ES-9

Download the firmware zip from the ES-9 firmware page and unzip it to get the es9_v<version>.dfu file. Download and run the ExpertSleepersDFU tool (macOS or Windows) from the same page; on Windows, uninstall the Expert Sleepers audio driver first. When the tool asks, select the .dfu file. With the ES-9 connected over USB the tool shows "Device in Runtime Mode": click REBOOT DEVICE, wait for "Device in DFU Mode", then click UPDATE DEVICE. The ES-9 reboots when the install is done. You can go directly to any firmware version. If the module does not respond, fit a jumper on header JP1 to force it to boot in DFU mode.
