ESP32 Error: A fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet content.

This article provides a complete solution for the most common Fatal error that usually occurs while uploading the code to ESP32. In this article I have interfaced DOIT ESP32 devkit V1 module with MG995 servo motor on GPIO = 18. You can use any module of your choice. Servo Motor Connections: Most analog servo motors like the MG995 use a 3-wire color-coded cable for interfacing. Although the color-coding is not an official standard many manufacturers use the same colored wires: 1)Orange – The PWM servo control input. This is a logic-level signal, and most servo motors can accept 3.3-volt logic as well as 5-volt logic. Some models, especially 270-degree rotation servos, use a White wire for this connection. 2)Red – The servo motor power supply input. Generally 3.3-5 volts DC, but be sure to check first. 3)Brown – The ground connection. On some servo motors, this is a Black wire ESP32 PWM Most micro controllers can be used to generate PWM signals and the ESP32 is certainly no ex...
