Other than most Sonoff modules (ESP8266) the Sonoff 4CH is based on the ESP8285.
## Serial Connection
Please see the [Hardware Preparation](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Hardware-Preparation) page for general instructions.
As always, you need to access the serial interface. The **four serial pins** (3V3, Rx, Tx, GND) can be seen in the first picture. *Attention:* The printed labels on the PCB for Rx and Tx are incorrectly swapped.
The Sonoff 4CH features four hardware buttons of which one is already connected to GPIO0, which hence can be used to bring the module into [Programming Mode](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Hardware-Preparation#bringing-the-module-in-flash-mode). The button is shown on the second picture.

It is important to initially flash these devices with the correct FlashChipMode of DOUT as otherwise future OTA or Upload updates will fail. It is important to initially flash these devices with the correct FlashChipMode of DOUT as otherwise future OTA or Upload updates will fail.
