I'm flashing the Paper S3 from the Arduino IDE. The documentation tells you to long press to enter a mode that accepts new code. The problem is that the Paper S3 only stays in that mode for ~5s and then restarts. Compiling and flashing in the Arduino IDE often takes 15-30 seconds. So I'm trying to time the Paper S3 into the right mode so the code finishes compiling within the 5s window. It usually takes me 4-5 attempts to flash, watching the little progress bar and guessing when to hit the reset button. Does anyone have a better way to do this? It's almost unusable like this.
