Gaggiuino Gen 3 ULTIMATE Installation Guide (Part 1)

Описание: This is Part 1 of the most comprehensive Gaggiuino Gen 3 installation guide you'll find.

This upgrade is a game-changer, but it's also incredibly detailed. With over an hour of carefully edited footage, I decided to split the tutorial into a multi-part series to make it easier to follow along without getting overwhelmed. In this video, we'll tackle the crucial first steps of the installation.

➡️ In This Video (Part 1), We Will Cover:
00:00 - Where to find all the official Gaggiuino information and software
01:39 - How to flash/update the firmware on your board and screen (via the Wi-Fi function, or ST-LINK in case of failures)
07:59 - How to correctly connect all electronic components to the mainboard
How to perform a full bench test to get the "green light" before the real installation begins

⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
This is the definitive unofficial guide for anyone looking to mod their Gaggia Classic (Evo Pro, Classic Pro, and other variants) with the Gaggiuino project. It is based on my personal experience. For the official, authorized instructions, please use the official resources below.
