Updating OTA is amazing

any chance you could post your code that works as an example?

It could be these two libraries?

#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>

Jamin · August 15, 2016, 2:09am

Including these makes no difference…

Are you doing anything hardware related? like anything attached to GPIO0 to do with WTD reset?

Looking like this issue: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/1017

Roccod · August 15, 2016, 2:12am

nope. I don’t have to touch a thing on the board to make it work. I don’t have to go into bootloader mode or anything., The only thing attached to it is the neopixels. If you upload my code does it work? It takes about a minute after I upload OTA for the board to reset and start working.

Jamin · August 15, 2016, 2:15am

Mine is being a pain then because after it uploads OTA and gets to “100%… End”… it then shows the wtd errors.

It sucks too because im not at home to physically cycle the power to see if it is just a reboot problem

Roccod · August 15, 2016, 2:17am

And you’re sure you have the right board chosen in arduino with all the various options correct?

Jamin · August 15, 2016, 2:19am

Yup its the same/only board and settings I have ever used.

Roccod · August 15, 2016, 2:23am

I don’t know. I’ve updated my sketch about 20 times without a problem. Did you roll back to the correct python?

Jamin · August 15, 2016, 2:24am

Yup running correct Python.
I actually am starting to think its my board… I really need to get home and cycle the power and maybe set up a proper hardware reset so that if it crashes it actually resets itself.

Jamin · August 15, 2016, 2:33am

Interested in hearing how you get on with this …

Jamin · August 15, 2016, 2:41am

Which version of IDE are you running? Im using 1.6.9… but wondering if I should update to 1.6.10

Roccod · August 15, 2016, 2:46am

I’m using arduino 1.6.9

Jamin · August 15, 2016, 2:49am

Okay I updated ot 1.6.10 and no joy. …

I think the issue is ESP.restart();… it looks like whenever this command is run, it crashes the hardware and then requires a power cycle to work.

So after it uploads OTA… it then runs ESP.restart(); and crashes.

Jamin · August 15, 2016, 3:04am

Okay IDE 1.6.10 doesnt even show Network Com ports available…

Gonna have to roll back.

Dave1829 · August 15, 2016, 3:10am

What firmware are you both running?

Im runing NodeNCU 0.9.6-dev_20150627 on all my esp8266-12’s

Jamin · August 15, 2016, 3:14am

I’ve never checked? How would I check?

Dave1829 · August 15, 2016, 3:29am

Use: AT+GMR

20 characters

Jamin · August 15, 2016, 3:30am

I didnt think AT commands worked after flashing with ArduinoIDE?

Dave1829 · August 15, 2016, 3:33am

In that case i don’t know how to check…
