ESP-Ota-UI

This is a small tool to help with uploading to ESP8266 boards. Current features include managing multiple OTA devices, flashing Program or SPIFFS memory over Serial or WiFi.

The entire UI status is saved in OTA-Config.ini when the tool is closed, so once you open the program again, everything sould be as as it was.

The project was created using Qt Creator 4.7.2 and Qt 5.11.2. Newer versions are likely to work also.
