Hey I am having trouble uploading sketches to the arduino pro mini 5V 16Mhz. I been searching the forum and many people have solved problems identical to mine but with the arduino pro mini 3.3V 8Mhz version. Does anybody know how to upload sketches with the arduino 0016??
How are you connecting it to the computer? Have you tried pressing the reset button shortly before or after you hit upload?
I am using the serialo USB port on my computer to the USB mini FTDI 5V connector. I tried holding the reset button just before upload with no success. I have also tried almost all of the other board sketch loaders and it doesnt seem to be working, the LED pattern just keeps on blinking. I noticed that the Arduino0016 has the Arduino pro 3.3V 8Mhz boards, but not the 5V, 16Mhz boards.
What happens when you try to upload? You can select the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila option that corresponds to the processor on your board (ATmega168 or ATmega328).
I had a similar sounding problem. I have been using the 5V pro mini with the 128 chip previously. The new pro mini 5V I received has the 328 chip installed. So all I had to do was select Duemilanove w/328, and it now uploads okay.
I just got an arduino pro mini 328 5v, 16 mhz and was unable to upload as well. I'm glad I found this post, changing to the duemilanove fixed it right away. Didn't need to hit reset or anything. Just uploaded my sketch and it works.
Thanks for the post.
Yesterday I tried to do this and it worked! But it doesn't work twice.
Any idea why?
