In chapter 13 the code snippet explaining how to setup OTA updates states:
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP()); // Send the IP address of the ESP8266 to the computer
ArduinoOTA.setHostname("ESP8266");
ArduinoOTA.setPassword("esp8266");
ArduinoOTA.onStart([]() {
Serial.println("Start");
});
The problem I seem to be facing is that without adding the (const char*) casting to the password line:
ArduinoOTA.setPassword((const char *)"esp8266");
whenever I try to upload a new sketch over OTA, the ESP will always refuse the password. I took a look at the official ESP8266 documentation and all the examples I could find have the type casting when using setPassword with an inline string.
in case it helps, I'm using Arduino IDE 1.8.7, ESP8266 2.4.2 and running Ubuntu 18.10.
