Reef Angel Forum

Trying to upload a sketch and I'm getting an upload error. Reinstalled the Reefangel installer and it recognized the USB cable.
It was working just last week.
Here is what I got when I tried to upload:

avrdude done. Thank you.

Are you sure it is com3?
Please check the USB-TTL cable connection

Looked under device manager to make sure. Also just connected up my old board and couldn't connect to it also. Is their any way to check the USB-TTL CABLE?

Do you have wifi attachment?

Yes. And it's working

Looks like the cable could be bad then

I'm able to use the cable to communicate with my wifi.

Does the controller reboot and flash the red led status when you try to upload codes?
What about when power cycle it?

No no flashing at all

When I get the upload error on Arduino it states the overriding baud rate is 115200. Is that right?

not even when you power cycle it?
yes, it is supposed to override to 115200 when uploading

By power cycle do you mean unplugging and plugging the reef angel?

yes

On a reboot the red light does flash, but nothing when I connect the cable

Can you check the last wire in the left?
It is the wire responsible for rebooting the controller when you upload codes.

Looks fine as far as I can tell

I'm boarding now on my way back.... Glad to be coming back
Let's resume this tomorrow, but by the way you re saying the controller doesn't reboot when you hit upload and that you can use the wifi attachment fine, it leads me to believe it is the cable.

Ok sounds good. Welcome back

ok got the new cable and still not able to load a code. No red light flashing or anything
