Thank you, really thank you. I was trying to fix the upload error for four days and finally I found it here. Thank you very much.
What was the issue?
Please share and recommend my channel. Thank you!
Thank tou very much!! Here the first case works great!
I use Linux as my primary machine, so the driver loader bit is a little more complicated. The tip on defective boards is definitely good.
I have recently purchased a very helpful device that allows one to bypass a lot of the problems. It is called an esp8266 firmware downloader. It connects to 14 pins of the esp8266 and allows one to immediately program the device without the rigmarole of holding down the reset or flash key at certain times or shorting the pins. This is especially helpful if one is programming a number basic 8266s.
I was missing the drive update. Thanks, dude.
Hi
I need some help in my project
I try to interfacing between mlx90614 and max30100,by node mcu esp8266 but the result of both doesn't appear

bro how to.upload deauther to.esp8266-01, it keeps giving me fatal error timeout waiting for header
.and it works on AT commands some fix says downgrade esptool to 2.5,can u help
Love You sir
My problam is solved
Good day Sir, the challenge I have with my own esp8266 is that I keep getting this message on uploading my code, pyserial or esptool directories not found next to this upload.py tool. I've checked many forums and am adviced to change certain folders (pyserial and esptool) but I can't find the folders on my PC. Please, do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to resolve this problem. Thanks.
These are installed inside your python folder... You could check them at c:/program files/python/ and search for esptool ....
Else you need to go to you user/local/python/ .... U will find it here
Port is not showing in device manager... What to do???

What header file are you using? Please install the library correctly.
All my relays go to "on" position on powering up the node mcu . please suggest
Please check for
1. NO and NC connection
2. Please check what GPIO pin you are using is programmed to be set LOW
3. What is the event that you trigger your relays with ? Kindly check the condition whether it's true.
I cannot say more than this... You need to give me a clear picture of what you are creating.

Bro its showing that a fatal error occured failed to connect with esp8266 timed out for packed header😢 plss reply! Plssssssssss!!!!
Being a subscriber its my request!
Why esp8266 is not discovered in my laptop even though the drivers are installed.bt it's blinking because of code installed by others laptop but not discovered in my laptop
Are you using a data cable? Or just a power USB cable?
I made numerous attempts and followed the instructions, but I was unable to upload the code. I need your aid. Is there any way we can communicate so you can assist me in solving my problem? I am receiving the following error message: "Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header." I have installed the driver and modified the upload speed, but the error persists.
Try using a different data cable ... Check if the device is listed on the device manager
this driver is not adding in windows 10.I followed this process but could not update the driver
Please could you specify the model you are using?
I have a nodemcu when I put on the right the error is (timed out waiting) and when I put it in the left in another place the error (does not exist) ! What is he problem
It is probably that your USB cable is gone bad or the USB port has an issue.
@@ElectronicsSimplified7 ok if the serial.begin in the code is 115200 and in the device manager is 9600 should I change it ? And if I will change it I need also to download drive files !?

I had the same problem...
Then I went to device manager and connected the nodemcu to one of my port then I saw that it showed (on Ports (COM & LPT)).

Then I went back to arduino ide .
Then to files and

Then esp8266 (after scrolling down)
And then blink
Then compiling
Then upload. .....
Please let me know if it helped you
It worked after I changed com port
Hi, How can we fix fatal error " failed to write to target RAM(result was 0107) "
You need check if your ESP has proper power supply to maintain the voltage levels between the serial connection. Next you can check for the baud rate : assuming that you are using the esp pytool for uploading the code (error 0107).
Keep a fixed baud rate in the communication and the voltage levels. you should be able to fix your error
I have an Esp8266 it only blinks when uploading the code it print some unknown things on the serial monitor i would like you to help me out 🙏
Set the right baud rate in the serial monitor
I have tried a lot and followed all the steps but not able to upload the code. Need your help. Is there any way I can connect with you and you can help me in resolving my issue. I am getting error :- "Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header

Hello, i am using esp8266. Every time i upload there is an error showing "MD5 of file does not match data in flash" i hope you can help me
You need to configure your Arduino IDE well ...
@@ElectronicsSimplified7 so the esp8266 is not the problem? Okay thank you!. I thought there is a problem on esp8266 board
Great video, showed me several things. However, I'm still stuck. I was able to upload code to my D1 Mini several times but now it won't upload anymore. The code on the device still runs, it happily reports through the console when I reset it. I just get errors on upload: final error message: esptool.FatalError: Failed to read register address 3ff00058 (result was 0105) Can you help? I see no damage, didn't smell smoke, don't think I changed anything. Further info, I did just successfully upload new code to a Uno which worked just fine.
I got the same like you. Fake Aliexpress boards from China. Other boards do not even compile.

help me pls Bro

Please try to change your data cable.
I have tried to make it clear to use a data cable.
If that doesn't solve your problem. Please check for any defects on your board. This has happened with many ofy students too. Receiving defective ESP in Asian countries is very normal.
Happy struggle. Keep moving keep learning
@@ElectronicsSimplified7 Tanq dude
my board was broken
thank u
You are welcome
Try it jumper D3 pin as GPIO0 to GND, in my esp8266 works
I have lolin node mcu v3 with ch340g mentioned at the back.
I tried to use several ch340g drivers but In device manager, it is shown as usb serial port instead of ch340g and also unable to upload code. Any leads?
Please uninstall and reinstall your device. Also make sure you are using the right configuration on the Arduino IDE.
@@ElectronicsSimplified7 yes also did that but not helpful
So your configuration is wrong. You need to set the debug port to serial 1. Then set baud rate to 115200. Also make sure you have the right board selected. Lolin is available in various versions.
Ok I'll make screenshots to show you all the settings......

hello am programming a esp-01 wifi module their is no hardware damage but timed out waiting for packet header error keeps popping out still am programming the wifi module using an arduino uno any ideas on how to work around it 🙏
Hi there did you find any fix if i may ask !?!
If you are not a pro esp-01 user. I may suggest you to get your connections right first. The reset pin has to be triggered in some modules while uploading.
I didn't it kept timing out still.
First check if the module is powered up.
Next upload the bare minimum code.
While uploading make sure your connections are as per www.electronicssimplified.in/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/arduino-esp-01-program.png
If it still fails.
Then check your ground and reset pin of the Arduino they should be connected to each other.
If the problem still persists,
Consider changing your wires.
If the problem still persists,
Take a break and mail me at electronicsengineering3@gmail.com
