avrdude done. Thank you.


I have selected Reef angle plus controller, on COM 4 (verified on device manager), tried the serial manager and it did make the controller reboot.

here are some photos of the cable hook up. I did notice the the wire color sequence of the cable on the plug does not match the color sequence of the reef angel manual.

Yes, it does look like the yellow and orange are inverted in your cable.
Would you be able to switch them?

Got them swapped got it to upload
Thanks for the assistance

Awesome
