I am trying to make a breadboard Arduino Uno. So far I am successful in setting up the ATmega328p pu. I also have installed bootloader and uploaded blink sketch to it. It is working fine.
Now I am trying to connect USB to Serial converter (FT232RL) for uploading sketch. I have successfully installed driver for FT232RL and the virtual COM port has been created. Computer is recognizing the module without any problem.
But when I am uploading sketch through this module, I am continuously getting non in synch error message. I have correctly selected the COM port and board type from the IDE.
It seems this is a classic problem, but unfortunately don't see clear solution on this. Even one page claimed that connection method referred in Arduino portal is wrong. I am using the following connection:
Vcc to Bread Board Positive Rail
GND to Bread Board Ground Rail
Tx to Atmega RX
RX to Atmega Tx
DTR to Atmega Reset through a 0.1uf capacitor
CTS to Atmega Reset through a 100R
Would you please let me know whether the connection is okay? Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?
