Hello everybody.
I just bought my first Arduinos (is this the right plural) last week and I have run into a problem.
I am trying to import sketches onto my Arduino Mini (not Pro) using the Arduino Uno.
I have read a lot of the tutorials out there about connecting the Mini using another arduino, but i have had some problems with them:
Some say that the TX pin should be connected to the TX and RX to RX, while others say RX->TX and TX->RX; I have tried both.
My main problem is that I have the SMD version of the Uno (This one: http://shop.snootlab.com/83-293-thickbox/arduino-uno-smd.jpg), and the tutorials say that I should remove the main chip.
When I try to upload a sketch to the Mini through the Uno i get the error avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51
, which tells me that it is finding the Uno, and not the Mini.
I have chosen the Mini in the "Tools->Board" menu.
Thanks for any help you could offer.
