Hi
I am a total beginner with flashing and Spark.
I have a Spark and need to install the following firmware to get my BrewPi Spark up and go:
Under Downloads, which one of the files do I need?
Can the flashing process be done over the air? I have managed to get the spark connected to wifi.
Thanks.

As it seems, they have tweaked the system firmware too, so you may need to download these binaries and flash them via CLI in that order
If you have a Photon (which is Particle - Spark Core was the predecessor)
https://github.com/BrewPi/firmware/releases/download/0.5.3-rc.3/system-part1-0.7.0-rc.3-photon.bin
https://github.com/BrewPi/firmware/releases/download/0.5.3-rc.3/system-part2-0.7.0-rc.3-photon.bin
https://github.com/BrewPi/firmware/releases/download/0.5.3-rc.3/brewpi-photon-0.5.3-rc.3.bin
You can upload binaries OTA too, but Iād rather go with USB in DFU Mode
particle flash --usb <yourBinary>

ScruffR - Thanks a lot. With your help I actually managed to get some response from the equipment in DFU and my BrewPi talks to me again. Where is your donate button, I would gladly buy you a beer.
Thanks again for your help and quick response.
