OTA No Response

Solved

My code is still a work in progress.
I have just added OTA to my code, but if i try to update,
just “Sending invitation to 192.168.1.81 …”
but get no response.

HI,

First step should be to start with a very, very basic sketch (eg Blink) + the ArduinOTA code. Test that and get it working without the main sketch, it will be much simpler to see what is going on, and troubleshoot.

Having said all that . . . you need to include ArduinoOTA.handle(); in your loop (first line of loop always works for me).

void loop() {
  ArduinoOTA.handle();                                    // OTA first line of loop()
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run();
}

After the first time you upload the code (USB serial) you MUST reset the device for OTA to begin.

Shut and restart the IDE and you should see the device as a network port.

Blynk.begin is a blocking function.
Use wifi.begin to join the network and Blynk.config to join the server.

This way will allow the OTA UPDATES.

5

Thank you
So remove

Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, IPAddress(192,168,1,120), 8080);

And replace with

wifi.begin ();
Blynk.config(auth, ssid, pass, IPAddress(192,168,1,120), 8080)

Try adding these two blocks of code into your void setup begore your ArduinoOTA.begin

  ArduinoOTA.onStart([]() {
  Serial.println("OTA Starting"); 
  });
  
  ArduinoOTA.onProgress([](unsigned int progress, unsigned int total) {
  Serial.printf("Progress: %u%%\r", (progress / (total / 100))); Blynk.run();
  }); // Blynk.run during the OTA process to avoid Blynk disconnection

This should print “OTA Starting” at the beginning of the OTA upload then show you the progress percentage in the serial monitor.
It will also execute a Blynk.run at each step to avoid a disconnection.

Pete.

also removed

Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, IPAddress(192,168,1,120), 8080);

replaced with

wifi.begin ();
Blynk.config(auth, ssid, pass, IPAddress(192,168,1,120), 8080)

The comments from @Madhukesh were shorthand for the actual steps that you need to take.

However, my suggested changes were as an alternative which would have allowed you to (hopefully) overcome the OTA issue without switching from Blynk.config.

Try going back to your original code snd just making the OTA changes.

Some WiFi library require capitalization.

WiFi.begin();  //vs
wifi.begin();
10

The process of connecting to WiFi requires SSID and password (unless you’re using an open network) and needs an “attempt to connect, pause, attempt again” process until a connection is established.
Blynk.config does not accept SSID and password as parameters.

Finaly got somewere.
All of the above changes incorperated into code.
it was the LSM303 driver library interfearing with OTA and BLYNK. Only working with your code suggestions and new updated drivers.
a lot of cleaning up to do (removing serial prints) and further coding. But i have Blynk, OTA, API and sensor woking.
