This is a little procedure that shows how update a module using the OTA (Over The Air).

This example illustrate an ESP32 going from the version 1.43 to the version 1.43.4


Th first step is to run the AnnexToolkit

A web page is automatically shown;
this page reports all the URL that must be used for the different modules.

Open the web page of the module and select the Config page;
paste the url copied from the previous page in the ORA url field
Note that the actual version installed is the 1.43.
Click on Save and then on OTA Update

When the process is over, the progress bar will reach the 100%
The process should take around 1 minute

Wait a little bit (~1 minute), the time required for storing the firmware inside the module;
refresh the module web page clicking on the Config tab
Check that the module shows the new version 1.43.4

For the ESP-01 (8266) I made the experience: It doesn't work with 1 Mb RAM, with 4 Mb it works.

I also confirm, with the 1Mb modules I have tried many times but have never been able to update via OTA.
