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

This video provides a complete solution for the most common Fatal error that usually occurs while uploading the code to ESP32. In this video 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 colour-coded cable for interfacing. Although the colour-coding is not an official standard many manufacturers use the same coloured 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 exception. In fact, the ESP32 has the capability of controlling 16 PWM outputs independently.

One thing to note about the ESP32, however, is that many of the GPIO pins have multiple functions. So when selecting a PWM pin to use with your servo motor you’ll want to be sure that you don’t need one of the pins other functions in your design.

Even with that slight restriction, there are still several PWM pins available to drive servo motors, LEDs, and many other devices.

Thank you very much! It worked for me too

i fken love you dude, I have been searching for a couple of days now and I finally found what I did wrong
