Upload Times Out

[madmarks]

I just re-worked my system, I am now putting in two Reef Angel + to create redundancy. I long time ago I had a tank crash when a breaker flipped during a brown out and have wanted to do a redundant system for quite some time. I haven't touched a controller in years (they just work).

I just discovered the Webwizard. I redid the settings for the 1st controller and it complied fine. However, when I went to upload the code, it caused the unit to constantly cycle/reset every 1 or 2 seconds and I had continuous time out errors in the Webwizard. I notice the baud rate was autoset to 115200, I believe this maybe the issue.

1) Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
2) Is there a way to lower the baud?

Thanks in advance.

Let me take a look i just uploaded code to an RAPlus last week, do you have a copy of the log from the cmd line?

[madmarks]

I can get one tomorrow. It is a tad late, I am on Eastern time. I will upload then.

Sounds good I'll check server logs I did push an update, but nothing that should affect upload. Also make sure you are using the latest wizard plugin.

ok this what I am seeing:

, both from a MAC and Windows 10 device. I have tried two different cables.

The plugins were downloaded yesterday.

Does the Plus respond at all like flash the red light or anything when you try to upload?

[madmarks]

Yes it does. About every 1 - 2 seconds the red light flashes and the system goes dark, the relay box clicks. Then the system comes back and the cycle repeats. It seems to correspond to the time out message.

For some reason the bootloader isn't responding, are you using the original usb ttl cable?

[madmarks]

I just figured it out. It has been so long. I, stupidly, was left orientating the connector, with the green wire to the left most pin, instead of right orientating the connector with the green wire to the 3rd pin. It loaded fine when I shifted the connector to the right. I built my own in house app, that functions like a local Uapp, it has confirmed the change in config.

[madmarks]

if you hadn't asked about the cables, I would never had looked at the orientation. I appreciate the help.

Glad you got it working!
