Somewhere read, that it is possible to flash the esp over the air.
Is there any good HowTo for this? Or any example?

OTA stuff very recently got a much easier to use class to simplify the OTA process, and that included some new example sketches:
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... sicOTA.ino
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... TALeds.ino
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... no_OTA.ino

OK,
this is the sketch on ESP-site.
But I do not understand, which programm I will have to use to send the sketch (guessing it must be the *.bin-file) to the esp?

And if the upgrade fails for any reason can it "brick" the ESP? I know you can recover if you have it in your hand, but at a remote location, whats the "brick" chance?
