Now, my question. (Apologies for the pictures, Linux refused to capture the screenshots as I wanted them so I had to use my phone.)
When I open my regular Serial monitor in the Arduino IDE, well, no issues.

However, the IP address of the ESP8266 also shows up in the Serial port list.

If I try to open this Serial port, I get this box, which I have no idea what to do with.
"Type board password to access its console."
I don't know the device password, or how to set it or remove it. What do I do here? Google has been utterly useless researching this.

I got the OTA working. I can use telnet to connect and send data in both directions (simple serial <-> wifi bridge, nice!).

To improve the experience however it would be nice to be able to open the serial monitor from the IDE. I get the same password prompt. I tried some simple passwords: arduino, wifi, esp8266, , but no luck

- Thu Sep 24, 2015 12:28 am #29750 No one has any idea, apparently. I haven't had any further luck Googling this and it seems no one else on the forums knows what to do about it judging by the lack of replies.

How are you using telnet to connect? I didn't know that was possible.

- Thu Sep 24, 2015 4:32 pm #29812 When you create a telnetServer you can use the printDebug as shown below

Code: Select allconst uint16_t aport = 8266;
WiFiServer TelnetServer(aport);
WiFiClient Telnet;


void printDebug(const char* c){
//Prints to telnet if connected
  Serial.println(c);
 
  if (Telnet && Telnet.connected()){
    Telnet.println(c);
  }
}
