avrdude: programmer is not responding (Pro Mini)

kprims:
Did you try it with the FTDI after the new bootload?

Yes, still not working.

kprims:
Have you reversed the way you have connected the TX0 RX0?

Yes, nothing happens.

kprims:
I usually bootload my 5V 16MHz Pro Minis (Clones) with the Uno Bootloader, which does flash three times when reset. You then have to remember to select Uno as the board which can be a pain. :slight_smile:

Tried too, with no results, still flashing like always.

kprims:
This may be a waste of your time, but what about loading some kind of serial sketch using your ISP programmer and then checking if your FTDI is hooked up right to receive what the pro-mini is sending. Keep in mind that you will have to reload the bootloader in order to load sketches using the FTDI after this.

I don't understand this, you mean that I load a serial sketch to the Pro Mini or to the FTD1232?

For the record, I'm using as ISP an Arduino Uno to burn the bootloader, and tried to load sketches too, but the results are still the same.

When I burn a bootloader I see that both boards works (Rx and Tx in the Uno and the led in the Pro Mini flashing quickly, and when it finished the "L" led of the Uno and the led of the Pro Mini flashing synchronised).

Thanks very much.
