#43451 So a couple of things did today which seem to work:

I edited boards.txt and add 2 lines to it for the huzzah so that OTA would show up (not sure if this was needed or not to be honest, it probably wasnt but whatever...) :
huzzah.menu.UploadTool.espota=OTA <----Added
huzzah.menu.UploadTool.espota.upload.tool=espota <----Added

I decided to go out on a limb and grab the 1.6.9 Arduino hourly build from today, hoping that some of the issues in 1.6.6 - 1.6.8 that have been reported were resolved.

So at the moment I'm running:
Arduino 1.6.9 hourly build 2016/3/16 16:07:33
Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.10
esp8266 2.1.0-rc2
and I'm pointed at http://arduino.esp8266.com/staging/pack ... index.json for Boards Manager

I also grabbed RealTerm from sourceforge, since I learned that you cant run both Arduino Serial monitor AND upload using OTA at the same time.

OTA seems to be faster at uploading my sketch than serial is at 115200.

I'm using ArduinoOTA, and for now things seem to work good.
