Apparently the TTL cable only works if it is plugged in on the pins all the way to the right on the controller...

Make sure you select the correct board type. This was causing me issues at first. Once the I selected the correct board type the upload went fine.

Re: the cable, user manual, page 20
Connect the USB-TTL converter cable to your Reef Angel Controller.
Note: Make sure you connect the cable as the picture below. The black wire must be the right most position and the 2 left most pins must be unconnected. Failure to do so can lead to damage to your ReefAngel Controller head unit and/or cable.
