CHECKLIST: Arduino

I’ll keep adding as I find new common problems or bugs, and their solutions.

This will serve as my own reference, but it might be useful for someone else!

Make sure the right board is selected.

This is one of the most common issues, and probably the easiest to solve.

If you’re getting the error message: “a fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet header” when you’re programming a ESP32 (e.g. M5Stick, M5Stack, Wemos D1, etc), the most likely reason behind it is having the wrong board selected.

Change it to the correct one and it should work!
