Hi every body, i know it's a commun problem but, until now i didn't find anything to solve it.
i try to upload programms to my aruino pro mini 5v 16mhz atmega 168 through a ch340 usb to serial adapter.
the driver of the adapter seems to be well installed.
but i get the error:
stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
i know that this error can come from quite every thing...
my adapter, has only 3.3v, 5v gnd rx tx output.
i plugged 5v to vcc. gnd to gnd. rx to rx and tx to tx.
i tried manual reset 1000 times, then i tried to solder an header to the pin 16 directly on the ch340 chip cause it is a rts pin, the i connect the rts to the rst on the arduino.
now when upload i can clearly see the board reseting. but i still have the error 15 seconds later... and the board blink again every second.
i almost tried anything, but if think about something i could have miss... lets talk about it!
Thanks to any ideas!

Many time you have to connect RX to TX and TX to RX.
i tried to cross rx and tx but it didn't worked neither...
Could your USB to Serial adapter be set up for RS323 and not TTL Serial? The logic levels are different and probably inverted.
Thanks for yor help ! I m not sure to know if it s can be used as rs323 but the chip ch340 doesn t have any rs323 output so i guess no.

The datasheet I read show the CH340 as having an input that sets it to RS232.
Perhaps it's time to get a different USB-to_Serial adapter.
