- Tue Mar 06, 2018 10:42 pm #74432 I am trying to get the example WebUpdater.ino sketch to run for the first time, I am using a Wemos D1 mini. When it powers on I get the following output:

Code: Select allBooting Sketch...
HTTPUpdateServer ready! Open http://esp8266-webupdate.local/update in your browser

When I go to the address using Chrome the error displayed is:

Code: Select allThis site can’t be reached
esp8266-webupdate.local took too long to respond.
Search Google for esp8266 webupdate local update
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT


I tried restarting the uC and the browser. I also tried with Edge and got a similar error. I tried turning off Windows Defender, my only antivirus. I have used ArduinoOTA sketches on this uC before successfully without turning off Defender. Can you offer any suggestions to fix this?

Thanks.

Try entering the IP address instead of the server name.
Or test my demo http://esp8266.fancon.cz/esp8266-simple-ota-arduino/arduino-simple-browser-ota.html but you must specify the esp8266 IP address in your browser.

- Wed Mar 07, 2018 7:48 pm #74453 Thanks for some reason it started working before I saw your response. I have a different problem now. I programmed an ESP01 with ArduinoOTA and it's not responding, as usual. Only this time when I reset or power cycle it it still doesn't respond when I enter the password. The output is :

Code: Select allAuthenticating...FAIL
19:42:31 [ERROR]: No Answer to our Authentication

This is extremely frustrating as I have to go physically retrieve the board everytime I want to program it and it takes forever and I can't trust the system at all so I can't put the board where I want it.

- Thu Mar 08, 2018 5:50 am #74462 When we see only one line of the error message, we can hardly advise. In general, ESP8266-01 often has only 512KB of flash memory, and OTA can not function.
