Easily add web based OTA updates to your ESP32/ESP8266 projects.
Clone this repo to your Arduino libraries directory. On Linux this is ~/Arduino/libraries/
Include the WebOTA library
#include <WebOTA.h>
Optionally initialize the WebOTA library if you want to change the defaults. This is done at the end of your setup() function:
void setup() {
// Other init code here (WiFi, etc)
// To use a specific port and path uncomment this line
// Defaults are 8080 and "/webota"
// webota.init(8888, "/update");
// If you call useAuth() in your setup function WebOTA will use
// HTTP digest authentication to request credentials from the user
// before allowing uploads
// webota.useAuth("username", "password");
}
Listen for update requests at the end of your loop() function:
void loop() {
// Other loop code here
webota.handle();
}
Note: If you have long delay() commands in your loop() WebOTA may not be responsive. We have provided webota.delay() as a drop-in replacement, which is more WebOTA friendly.
You will need to create a binary sketch image to upload. This is done in the Arduino IDE by going to the Sketch menu and selecting Export compiled Binary.
Navigate to your ESP in a web browser to upload your binary image. Typical URLs are: http://esp-ota.local:8080/webota.
You can also use Curl if you want to script your uploads from the CLI
curl -F "file=@MyImage.bin" http://esp-ota.local:8080/webota
