Arduino Lilypad not Uploading

Development Tools IDE 1.x

I am trying to use the Arduino Lilypad with an FTDI to power it using a mini USB cable from my laptop. However, whenever I try to upload a code in order to test it, it gets stuck on uploading and gives the following error: avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding.

All the connections are correct and I installed the required drivers for the FTDI. I suspect the issue is that the mini USB cable is capable of providing power but not data. Does anyone have any experience with this?

If you have a power-only cable, your board / FTDI will not be recognised by your operating system. So that would be the first thing to check.

Here is a long thread about this error. You can check .
