A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header

What can I do?

OttoWinter commented 5 years ago

Hmmm, I don't know. Can you confirm the ESP8266 works, maybe with another firmware? The two things I can think of are: the ESP8266 is dead or the ESP8266 isn't getting enough power over USB.

I had this specific error happen to me today. I was using a USB to serial converter that required me to connect the individual pins myself. In my case, the problem was that I had the connections between the rx and tx pins on the USB to serial and the rx / tx pins on the ESP8266 reversed. Once I switched them everything worked as expected. This is something that could be added to the faqs (or possibly added to the error message itself). I hope this helps!

Closing this issue as it looks a lot like a hardware issue.

Nornode commented 5 years ago

Hey, I came across this issue. Thought It was my ESP8266, changed it, and have the same problem (Nothing before soldering my sensors). Just a thought @philko123 How long cable did you attach to your i2c sensor? Mine is +200cm and thougth this might be the issue with problems for pull-ups and resistors et.al. to get started.... This might be the hardware issue we are facing?
