	Hello, Recently rebuilt PC, reinstalled everything and now my OTA upload fails with this error: Uploader started for board ESPDuino (ESP-13 Module) Upload method will be: bootloader Uploading via Bootloader Port Properties (network) python.exe /tools/espota.py -i "192.168.1.105" -p "{network.port}" "--auth=" -f C:\Users\Dad\AppData\Local\Temp\VMBuilds\GARAGE~1\ES885B~1\Release/GARAGE~1.BIN The uploader process failed Usage: espota.py [options] espota.py: error: option -p: invalid integer value: '{network.port}' COM upload works fine. I am using VS2015. Not entirely sure which version of vMicro as can't find the v number, but installed within the last month. (Also, not sure if important but I am actually using ESP-07S (4MB) but there isn't an option for that so used ESP-12 and ESP-13 options which are also 4MB) Can anyone tell me how to set {network.port} ? Thanks Miles

	Hi, Previously I think you had apply bonjour installed. Your sketch will configure mDNS and that is what bonjour looks for. The port is set in your code along with your authorization/password settings You don't need apply bonjour. you can enter the IP manually as you have done but you also need to create a local board.txt to state the port and auth settings. Put this in a board.txt Code (C++) # local project board.txt overrides network.password=123 network.auth_upload=yes network.port=8266 or Code (C++) # local project board.txt overrides # network.password=123 network.auth_upload=no network.port=8266 See the ESP8266 page for more info Quote: (Also, not sure if important but I am actually using ESP-07S (4MB) but there isn't an option for that so used ESP-12 and ESP-13 options which are also 4MB) You will have used board manager to install your hardware from a url or your choosing. Sounds like you have installed the wrong core. Uninstall it then use the Auto-Discovery node at top of board manager to install the esp8266 community core.

	Hi Board.txt worked! Many thanks for the speedy reply. Re ESP-07S, I'd already installed ESP8266 Community 2.4.1. There is no option for that board, but it's no big deal as ESP-12 and 13 options seem to work fine, I think it's probably just the aerial that is different as I wanted the external type. Thanks again m
