A fatal error occurred: Packet content transfer stopped (received 8 bytes)a

Hello,
I have used the esp32 for a proyect with a DHT11 and a relay. When I tried to upload the code I have dis problem

How can I solve it?

I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @mqp2009sotin.

In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.

This is an important part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. The guide contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

I'm absolutely not familiar with the ESP32 family and this is the only comment I can make. Did you try the advice in the error message to disconnect all hardware from your board?

Hi, I have the same problem, have you found a solution?

anyone find a solution ?because i face same issues

Hi @mqp2009sotin, @jossiga, and @nohaalgheilani.

This error might be caused by the communication lines between the computer and the microcontroller on the board not being able to support the rather high default upload speed. If so, the problem should be fixed by reducing the upload speed, which is configurable via a convenient menu.

Select Tools > Upload Speed > 115200 from the Arduino IDE menus and then try uploading the sketch again, just as you did before. Hopefully this time the upload will be successful. If not, add a reply here on the forum thread to let us know and we'll investigate further.

Optimizing Upload Speed

If the sketch upload no longer failed after reducing the upload speed, you will have determined that the board is not capable of managing uploads at the default 921600 baud, but is capable of them at 115200 baud.

Especially with more complex sketches, the upload will take a significant amount of time at 115200 baud. It is likely that the board is capable of managing uploads at some speed higher than 115200 baud, so it is worth doing some experimentation to determine the maximum speed at which you can reliably upload to the board. You can do this by repeating the "Configure Upload Speed" procedure above, but selecting different speeds each time. Then attempting an upload to see if the new speed is appropriate.

Hi @vinay_07. Are you experiencing this error when attempting to upload a sketch to an ESP32-based board?

If yes, did you try following the instructions I provided in my previous reply?

Yes

OK, thanks for the clarification.

It is possible for a short or external circuitry connected to the Arduino board to interfere with the upload process, causing this type of upload error.

Make sure the board is not sitting on anything conductive that could short the contacts on the bottom of the board. Make sure there isn't any conductive debris (e.g., strands of wire or component leads) on the board or on the surface the board is sitting on.

If you have a shield or any external circuitry or components connected to your Arduino board, try this experiment:

  1. Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
  2. Disconnect any shields, modules, external circuitry, etc. from your board.
  3. Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.

Now try uploading a sketch to the board again. Does the upload succeed?

This experiment will determine whether the upload error was caused by interference from your external circuitry. If so, you can then focus your attention on identifying the specific problem with the circuit and resolving it.
