hi
I have this cheap chinese fake arduino mini called funduino http://www.ebay.com/itm/Funduino-pro-mini-ATMEGA328P-5V-16M-Micro-controller-board-Compatible-arduino-/200922410720?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec7e8aee0
this arduino does not have a usb port so I am using a converter http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-To-RS232-TTL-PL2303HX-Auto-Converter-Module-Converter-Adapter-For-arduino-/300881830900?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460df463f4
I do not know how to upload, I have tried some things but getting a avrdude.exe error code: avrdude.exe: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
I connect rx to rx, tx to tx, gnd to gnd but I am not sure about 5v. I read Ishould connect it to the vcc on my mini but this cheap version does not have one. I tried vin, vbus and 5v but nothing yet. I am also not sure what board I should select to upload to.
Thanks!
