Does i0t hangs on 90% on any code?
Try this code:

Code: Select all

void setup()
{
}
void loop()
{
}

I ordered some new USB cables in hopes that this fix the issues I am having.

But I am curious as to why I can't it hangs when trying to upload code to the controller.

You've got the wrong board configured if this is an RA+. It's saying you only have 32k available which means it's looking for a standard board.

I have been using Reef Angel Controller w/optiboot. Should I use Reef Angel Plus Controller? Sorry for the dumb question.

So I have tried running the controller with just the dimming expansion no bus lock. I tried running the controller with the expansion hub and dimming module- bus lock. Expansion hub and expansion hub- bus lock. This leads me to think that maybe my expansion hub is bad. I noticed the led on the expansion hub starts off bright and then goes dim to off as time passes. Maybe Rimai will let me exchange it for a working one. I also have yet been able to update my code. I am not sure what else to do/check. I have changed all of the USB cables.

Expansion hub and expansion module. The one that allows for an set of relays to plug equipment into.
