Some new Sonoff devices support Sonoff DIY (https://github.com/itead/Sonoff_Devices_DIY_Tools). With Sonoff DIY a user has more control over the hardware features of the device and also allows for upgrading the firmware without additional hardware.
## Compatible devices
Currently the following devices officially support Sonoff DIY:
- Sonoff Basic R3
- Sonoff RF R3
- Sonoff Mini
As Sonoff DIY is enabled by connecting GPIO16 to Gnd it may well be possible that other Sonoff devices running eWelink 3.1 or higher will also support it.
## Procedure
The following procedure upgrades Sonoff eWelink software to Tasmota using a Windows laptop.
- Open the device and remove the jumper labeled OTA if present
- Power on device and connect to eWelink
- Update firmware to at least 3.1 (mine came with 3.0)
- Power off and install jumper
- Download the Sonoff DIY package from Github at https://github.com/itead/Sonoff_Devices_DIY_Tools
- Modify your laptop (windows 10) configuration to provide a Mobile hotspot with SSID sonoffDiy (case sensitive!) and password 20170618sn

- Power on and verify it pops up on the Mobile hotspot Settings page
- Start ``\tool\tool_01DIY85(v1.0.0).exe``
- It should find the device
- Select it and play with ON and OFF to verify correct connection to Basic R3
- Select Firmware flash
- Select pre-compiled or own compiled binary smaller than 500k. Do NOT SELECT sonoff-minimal as it does not allow to change any setting.
- Select the device in the flash pop-up and select OK
- Tasmota will be uploaded an start running
Now continue as if you just installed Tasmota on the device.
### Clean up:
- Quit DIY mode tool
- Stop mobile hotspot
- Power off device and remove OTA jumper as it is no longer needed and might interfere with future Tasmota features using GPIO16
