I have a new laptop and didn't run any development boards on it except some Arduino boards.

But now, I have only nodemcu esp8266 and maple mini boards and trying to connect them but I get error connection message.

esptool.FatalError: Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header

I tried to find solutions but apparently I'm stuck here and I can't do anything.

I tried to re-flash the nodemcu with the flasher but I can't get the addresses. This is what I got:

The flashing started but can't get the AP MAC and STA MAC. I don't know what is the problem now, I used to flash it before but on my old Dell laptop. I started to think that there are some problems with usb ports of my msi gaming laptop, they are 3.0, I think that could be a problem.

The board is recognized in device manager and in Arduino IDE COM ports.

My question is how to solve this problem ?

  • I have a problem connecting my dev boards with Arduino IDE. I don't know if it's a hardware or software problem. Commented Aug 16, 2020 at 10:13

    Is the correct USB-to-Serial port driver installed correctly on your laptop? Do you use the correct COM port and the correct settings (baud rate, SPI mode) in the Flasher? Commented Aug 16, 2020 at 11:19
  • @StarCat Yep, I configured all these stuff, same COM ports and same baud rate. The driver is installed by default. I deleted it and installed it again. Same problem ! Really strange, it's working perfectly on my desktop which is not around right now. Commented Aug 16, 2020 at 12:53
