ESP8266 Community Forum

First of all thank you for the code.

I am trying your code to implement the OTA functionality on ESP8266 12F module.

But it's asking board password while uploading the code wirelessly. I cannot be able to find the password in the code.

Can you help me regarding this.

I recall reports of similar issue before. Unfortunately I do not recall any convincing root cause identification. Therefore I have no any tips to shoot from the hip. You need to provide some more details:

1. esp8266 / Arduino core s/w version
2. Arduino IDE name and version
3. O/S name and version
4. Sketch - copy and paste the code
5. What particular OTA procedure you follow?
6. At what step you got stuck?
7. Screenshot of window asking for password
8. Have you tried if you see the same issue on PlatfomIO or VisualMicro?

Thanks for your contribution clarifying how OTA is implemented to IDE/ARDUINO.
I have successfully umplemented OTA to my ESP12E/ESP8266 board and my uploads work quite right OTA !
I still have an issue, though.
I understand that the serial monitor can NOT work over the air on the same port that the one that has been used for OTA (well, ESP8266 is not supported this way).
However, monitoring my program is mandatory and I would like to monitor it OTA via Wif.
What would you suggest me to use to open a monitor (PUTTY, TELNET, SSH ?)
Thanks
