OTA Update Using ESP8266

Overview In this tutorial, we will learn how to program the ESP8266 OTA using the Arduino IDE. We will learn about an interesting feature of the ESP8266 NodeMCU module that will allow us to perform OTA updates over the air. This means that the ESP8266 module, like other Wi-Fi-enabled microcontrollers, supports over-the-air updating of firmware…
