Arduino pro mini issues

funinalaska

OK, I have been using Arduino Uno, Mega and micro for a while now.

All have USB on the board.

I had ordered some Pro Mini boards a while ago and am just now finally getting to fool around with them.

I got a FTDI232 board to program them with but I am having no luck.

I have followed along with many tutorials online that use these boards with this adapter.

I always get:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

I have tried a couple different Pro Minis thinking maybe one I had was bad.

I also did do the test with putting a jumper over RX and TX and seeing if I get mirroring in Serial monitor and I do.

I have checked the settings in the com port on my system settings and it seems to be set as the tutorial say.

Anyone have any thoughts what could be my issue?

    I had the same problem. I bought several pro mini(s) and a usb adapter, not knowing they are not all alike. The USB adapter I got does not have the reset electronics as part of it. To program the pro mini I must press an hold the reset button on the mini and  then send the file to the mini. As soon as I see the message about sending data to the board, release the reset button.

     

    GIve that a try
