I've been trying to upload onto my new arduino pro mini and have successfully achieved it a few times. But most of the times I get errors such as:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51
Restarting the computer and switching from ubuntu to vista doesn't seem to help at all. The fact that I was able to load code onto the board would mean that I soldered the pins fine. But no matter what I do in terms of restart and replugging of the SF USB FTDI breakout board, nothing works.
The red light is on and the green light sometimes flashes. The computer also recognizes the board fine. Would could be wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
