I'm new to the Arduino community and I've encountered a problem when trying to start flashing my controller. I receive the following error message:

esptool.py v3.0 Serial port COM3 Connecting......................................_____ A fatal esptool.py error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header.
Before attempting to flash, I followed a guide which included inserting the JSON link (esp8266) and installing it. I also verified that the port is visible, installed the CH341 driver (I also tried CH340), and ensured that the USB cable is in good condition. I'm not sure what to do next.
