Reef Angel Forum

A couple days ago I was uploading fine. Yesterday I tried to upload some new code the wizard made and was getting sync error. Today I am able to upload this code I found while searching about 90% of the time without errors.

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(57600);
Serial.println("Test");
}
void loop()
{
}

The code I generate syncs out at about the same place everytime and I notice that when it pause uploading that the screen on the ree fangel comes back on.
avrdude: Recv: . [14]
avrdude: Recv: . [10]
avrdude: Recv:
avrdude: stk500_cmd(): protocol error

Try the board with and without the optiboot.
Maybe you have one with optiboot and you are trying with the wrong board choice.

Optiboot was the only one that would work when I wasn't having trouble uploading a couple days ago. After loading the small code and crazy amount of rebooting the controller I finally got it to finish uploading. I ordered the plus board Saturday so hopefully it fixes my problem and its not the cable which I don't believe to be the case but you never know.

P.s thanks for responding!
