Does anyone knows what can cause it?

Is your power supply strong enough?

@mat3511 do you by any chance running macOS High Sierra? A have the same problem. But when I upload on my notebook (macOS Sierra) everything works.

I know it's a long shot but still... I'll do some further analysis and post here

0K, here is what I found out so far.

What I did:

• a check what was the difference between computer (alts call it HS) on which I get a restart (macOS High Sierra) and computer (lets call it S) I can (macOS Sierra)

• od computer S I had board version 2.3.0 so I downgraded version on computer HS ☛ uploading error

• I then searched solution for uploading error on High Sierra and I found out that there could be a FTDI driver problem ☛ https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/3711

• I updated the driver, restart ESP, restart Arduino IDE , reuploaded data.ini, recompile and reupload sketch ☛ it worked!

Few more things:

• uploading data.ini with old drivers took about 5min, whit new driver - few seconds
• ESP always crashed after line D: Start server for commands. I'm guessing this is the point where MQTT connection is made.
• I will try to go back to 2.4.0 and see if problem comes back

I have no idea if this is OS / board version / FTDI driver or combination of any of those.

Try to use a powersupply that can deliver at least 1 ampere.

I don't think that the power supply is the issue here. I'm running on the same setup for a few months with now problems. Problems started to emerge when I switch env/configuration

Hello, I am runnig win 10, but I slolved this problem by putting comment symbols in this part of code: if ( NetworkFound ) // OTA and MQTT only if Wifi network found { ArduinoOTA.setHostname ( NAME ) ; // Set the hostname ArduinoOTA.onStart ( otastart ) ; ArduinoOTA.begin() ; // Allow update over the air if ( ini_block.mqttbroker.length() ) // Broker specified? { // Initialize the MQTT client WiFi.hostByName ( ini_block.mqttbroker.c_str(), mqtt_server_IP ) ; // Lookup IP of MQTT server mqttclient.onConnect ( onMqttConnect ) ; mqttclient.onDisconnect ( onMqttDisconnect ) ; mqttclient.onSubscribe ( onMqttSubscribe ) ; mqttclient.onUnsubscribe ( onMqttUnsubscribe ) ; mqttclient.onMessage ( onMqttMessage ) ; mqttclient.onPublish ( onMqttPublish ) ; mqttclient.setServer ( mqtt_server_IP, // Specify the broker ini_block.mqttport ) ; // And the port mqttclient.setCredentials ( ini_block.mqttuser.c_str(), ini_block.mqttpasswd.c_str() ) ; mqttclient.setClientId ( NAME ) ; dbgprint ( "Connecting to MQTT %s, port %d, user %s, password %s...", ini_block.mqttbroker.c_str(), ini_block.mqttport, ini_block.mqttuser.c_str(), ini_block.mqttpasswd.c_str() ) ; mqttclient.connect(); } } else { currentpreset = ini_block.newpreset ; // No network: do not start radio } It worked, I am not using OTA or MQTT anyway

Ps: I also did change my pover supply, becouse the old one wasn't strong enough.

Hmm ok I guess this problem is all over the place :) Should we just close this issue for now?

[mat3511]

Yes, we should. :)

The latest version of the library (rc2) has a working OTA.

Had the same issue with Arduino 1.8.5 on macOS High Sierra with Arduino ESP board version 2.4.0 and a china ESP8266 NodeMCU v3 with CH340G chip.

The solution was to downgrade the Arduino ESP board version to 2.3.0
