Integration Guide
Integrating ElegantOTA in your existing code is pretty simple. This guide assumes that you already have a simple webserver code prepared and you just need to inject the following lines in your existing code:
Include Dependency
At the very beginning of sketch include the ElegantOTA library.
#include <ElegantOTA.h>Add begin function
Now add the begin function of ElegantOTA in setup block of your sketch. This will inject ElegantOTA routes and logic into the web server.
ElegantOTA.begin(&server);Add loop function
Last part is to call the loop function of ElegantOTA in loop block of your sketch. This loop block is necessary for ElegantOTA to handle reboot after OTA update.
ElegantOTA.loop();Final Code
That’s it! This is how a ready to use example will look like. After uploading the code to your platform, you can access ElegantOTA portal on http://<YOUR_DEVICE_IP>/update.
