Arduino Mini 04 with ATmega328

Using Arduino IDE 1.x
5

Hello,

I seem to have the same issue. I also purchased a Mini from Sparkfun and the chip is a 328. I have tried every trick I could find on these forums and nothing seems to work.

I have circuit with a reset button...I tried to time the reset...
I have an interface with the DTR line of the Mini USB adapter (newest version). ( I copied off the the Nano schematic) This does work because the indication LED blinks 3 times when I hit upload in the IDE.

No dice...

My circuit:

912×684 103 KB

When I try to upload a sketch I always get the same output as everyone else with Mini upload problems:

"Binary sketch size: 2180 bytes (of a 14336 byte maximum)

    avrdude done. Thank you."

Also, after the board is reset, it does the 3 quick LED flashes to state that the bootloader is running. After a couple more seconds the LED will flash one time, with a longer on duration, and then is sends via serial the following error message:

"ERROR:pin 2-3" I cannot find any documentation of where this error message comes from. I have combed the source code for the bootloaders, avrdude, and anything else I can find. Nothing...

Lastly,

I tried to re-burn the bootloader as a normal Mini (168) and I get this error message:

avrdude: Expected signature for ATMEGA168 is 1E 94 06

  • Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.*

Sorry for the long post.

Any Ideas?
