 Bigger Bigger  Smaller Smaller  Reset Reset

Hi,
 
After a while using the diecimila, I have recently purchased a lilypad in an attempt to make a halloween costume.  However, I'm having trouble uploading to it.  I'm using the mini-usb breakout board from sparkfun without alligator clips or anything and I'm pretty sure it is connected the correct way, as the built-in led on the board blinks when it's plugged in and the Tx led on the breakout board blinks when I attempt to upload.  However, it gives me an error message, "avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding."  I'm connected using serial port /dev/tty.usbserial-A80081IW and have selected the lilypad board.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Zach

Try holding down the reset button, clicking upload, and then releasing the reset button.  It's the only way I could reliable get my Pro Mini to work.  Mentioned this to someone else and it worked for them too.

Yes RESET + upload should do it!

It works for me too on 4 boards smiley

Yup, just had to hold reset exactly from when I start the upload until the Tx light on the breakout board starts flashing.  Thanks for the tip.
