ESP8266 Community Forum

I'm trying to get OTA updates to work with the 2.0 release. However, the Wiki page has instructions that are for pre 2.0 versions. Here is what I was trying:

Arduino 1.6.5 (from Arduino.cc)
ESP8266 Arduino 2.0 from http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/packa ... index.json
Sketch: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... sicOTA.ino

This sketch is able to connect to my AP and displays the IP address in the console output. However, I never see any entries in the COM port list other than my local COM ports (I'm using Windows 10).

Does anyone have any further guidance on how to get this to work?

Thanks,
-- John

Hi John,

To make BasicOTA.ino work you need Arduino IDE 1.6.7 – please follow https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... arduinoota

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed. It's working now in the Arduino IDE--now I just have to get it working in VisualMicro and I'll be all set.

Is there a process for updating the Wiki? It would be very nice to have the page updated so it has the information above, or at least links to it so it's easier to find.

Hi John,

I am happy the issue is resolved

You got me intrigued with information about wiki that is not updated.
Please post the link to this wiki so I can check it out.
