AI SummaryEnables over-the-air firmware updates for ESP32 devices via HTTP without serial port access, ideal for iterative development and remote updates on connected devices. Developers working with ESP32 in networked environments benefit from faster update cycles.
Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "esp32-workbench-ota" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into the correct directory mkdir -p .claude/skills/esp32-workbench-ota && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/esp32-workbench-ota/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SensorsIot/Universal-ESP32-Workbench/main/.claude/skills/esp32-workbench-ota/SKILL.md" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
OTA firmware upload, listing, deletion, and over-the-air update for the Universal ESP32 Workbench. Triggers on "OTA", "firmware", "update", "upload", "binary", "over-the-air".
ESP32 OTA & Firmware Repository
Base URL: http://192.168.0.87:8080
Use OTA when:
• Device already runs firmware with an OTA HTTP endpoint • Device is on the WiFi network (connected to workbench's AP or same LAN) • You want to update firmware without blocking the serial port • You're doing iterative development (build → upload → trigger → monitor cycle)
Do NOT use OTA when:
• Device is blank/bricked — use serial flashing (see esp32-workbench-serial-flashing) • Device firmware has no OTA support — use serial flashing • Device has no WiFi connectivity — use serial flashing • You need to flash a bootloader or partition table — only esptool can do this
Endpoints
| Method | Path | Purpose | |--------|------|---------| | POST | /api/firmware/upload | Upload firmware binary (multipart/form-data) | | GET | /api/firmware/list | List all uploaded firmware files | | DELETE | /api/firmware/delete | Delete a firmware file | | GET | /firmware/<project>/<file> | Download URL (ESP32 fetches from here during OTA) |
