Can't upload data to ESP8266 #216
Description
My old computer died so I am stating this project all over again with new Windows 10 (with latest updates installed) Dell laptop computer. Everything has gone well until I tried to upload data to ESP8266 using ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload in Arduino IDE Tools window. I am using Arduino IDE 1.8.19; ESP8266FS 0.5.0; Python 3.11.4; and COM4. All are located in the Arduino folder. I get the error message shown below.
Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows 10), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Flash, Disabled (new aborts on oom), Disabled, All SSL ciphers (most compatible), 32KB cache + 32KB IRAM (balanced), Use pgm_read macros for IRAM/PROGMEM, 4MB (FS:1MB OTA:~1019KB), 2, v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 115200"
