Upload of specific sketch fails on MEGA but other sketches can be uploaded

Using Arduino Avrdude, stk500, Bootloader issues
1

Hello,

I am having a very strange thing here.
My Arduino Mega works and I can upload sketches, no problem.
But there is one sketch (it includes an external .h file) where I get
stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout

The sketch compiles fine, it just doesn't upload.
I can upload other sketches, no problem.

Anyone has a clue what is going on here?
I suspect it has something to do with the .h file...

Find the sketch here:

I also attached it below.

data.h (158 KB)

FakeTV.ino (2.41 KB)

I am on macOS 10.14 and use IDE 1.8.10.

Update: It seems to work better with Arduino IDE 1.0.5.
It starts uploading and stops just before finishing...

Here the verbose output of IDE 1.8.10:

Just to confirm:
• Other sketches can be uploaded to the MEGA board
• The problematic sketch can be uploaded to a UNO board
