Remote firmware ESP
Tell me, is it possible to update the firmware remotely without connecting USB?
Re: Remote firmware ESP
It depends what you mean by "firmware".
This is normally referred to as "OTA" updates (i.e. Over The Air) but confusingly this could mean both the core firmware or the Python code.
If you want to update the core firmware (i.e. to upgrade MicroPython version or switch to a different firmware like tasmota), I believe this is possible but I don't know much about it. e.g. https://schinckel.net/2018/05/26/ota-fi ... n-esp8266/
But if you just want to update your Python code, there are a few options. For development use, WebREPL is a easy way to do this (access the REPL and read/write files) http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/e ... ive-prompt
I've also seen MicroPython libraries for doing this from GitHub (e.g. also confusingly called OTA, https://medium.com/@ronald.dehuysser/mi ... fde670d4eb )
