I am having trouble getting the extra boards on my laptop, which I prefer to use with my weather station, and get the following error message  "Error downloading http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/packag...index.json"
I have tried many times at different time of the day to no avail
I managed to get the boards on my desktop computer and updated to v7 from there. Can you suggest an alternate download site for the boards or do you have any suggestions.
I am keen to get the Upload via WiFi working from my laptop rather than by USB

Jim

Hi Jim,

The link you have is the official link:

Code:

http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

for the Arduino core for ESP8266 WiFi chip.

I'm sorry you are having difficulties to use it, but I can't do anything about that. Take a look or even post a question on the ESP8266 forum.

Regards

Werk,
It seems the issue has been around for a while and I have tried everything suggested on the web, so i have given up for a few days.
I have another issue with the WD unit after I updated it OTA; It updated successfully and then when rebooting it could not connect to the wiFi.
It shows IP address of 0.0.0.0.
I reloaded the software via USB but still no connection to the WiFi
It seems as if the the ESP may have failed
Regards
