Hi, i'm truing to use OTA updates from arduino IDE to esp8266.
I follow this link steps https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... updates.md

But, where can I download arduino ide 1.6.5-947-g39819f0 (of July 23, 2015) or 1.6.5-1160-gef26c5f (of Sep 30, 2015) ,which is needed to run OTA for wifi sketch upload

Best regards,
Vitor

Hi,

I have the 2.0.0 software, and when the examples didn't work (didn't show a new entry in the Tools->Port menu), I replaced the boards.txt file as described.

After that, a new menu entry does show up

But the board won't accept connections. I added a line
ArduinoOTA.setPassword("123");
just before ArduinoOTA.begin();
but neither the serial monitor, nor the update process, will connect.

Hi Danny,

I am wondering if you use compatible software.

To verify that, could you confirm:
1. esp8266/Arduino boards package version – I assume stable 2.0.0?
2. Arduino IDE version?
3. Name of example sketch?
