Seeeduino Stalker Sync Problem

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I have tried to get my Seeeduino Stalker V2.3 to run a program without success. Read the trouble shooting instructions but am getting no where. I am missing something and need help find the answer. Here is what I have done:

Installed FTDI Driver 2.8.30.0 on COM3 9600 baud, 8 data bits 1 stop bit
Installed Arduino IDE 1.5.5
Set Processor: ATmega328 3.3v 8mz
Set Board: Arduino Pro or Pro Mini
Set port: COM3

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

I have tried the digital blink but figured I would just get a do nothing program to load first.
But I always end up with:

Sketch uses 490 bytes (1%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30,720 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

Pin 13 light is flashing green which I assume means the boot loader is functioning.
When I upload the light stops, flashes once then the error occurs.
This makes me think I am communicating with the board but some other error is occurring.
Maybe a program problem or executable code problem? Transfer problem? What programmer should I use, does that matter?
I am connecting with a UartsBee v4.0 voltage set to 5v

If other info is needed I will get it.

Thanks in advance.

I finally solved my problem, the latest version of FTDI firmware is bad.

I was installing 2.08.30 D2xx drivers.

After an exhaustive search on the Ardiuno Forum regarding the FTDI chip and the UartsBee V4.0 utility interface, there were some posts regarding rolling back the current software to 2.08.24 but I could only find 2.08.28 so I tried it and everything started working.

I am running Windows 7 so to roll the driver back I had to turn off Windows 7 Automatic Driver Install both during update and device install, then uninstall the drivers for both USB Serial and COM Port. Then reboot, first the USB Serial is installed from the 2.08.28 directory and then the COM Port is installed using the same procedure.

To verify the fix I used the Arduino Serial Monitor. I looped back the TX and RX pins but got no echo, after the new code was installed then I got the echo and the blink program worked. This was really frustrating, but nothing feels better than a little success!
