ESP8266 OTA Flakiness
May 29th, 2017 at 3:42pm
Print Post  
- VS 2017 2017 Community 15.2
- Visual Micro 1705.8.0, paid version
- NodeMCU 1.0
- Running example file BasicOTA.ino.

In Release mode, all seems to go well. But in Debug mode, not so well:

When I Build and Upload via serial connection, all is good - I get what's expected in the serial monitor.

When I Build and Upload via OTA, it usually works the first time. When I try again, it builds, but I often get "[ERROR]: No response from device. The uploader process failed". Once I get this...
1. I can physically reset the device and the program seems intact (serial monitor shows as expected).
2. I need to re-upload over serial in order to do OTA again.

Also, I tried this on two different NodeMCU units, same resuts on both.

Thanks in advance!

Do you get the ota issues when the serial cable is entirely unplugged?

Thanks
