Using arduino on breadboard

Hello,

i setup arduinocompatible layout on breadboard, according to this guide:

I used exactly same parts, burned bootloader, tested it whit my arduino and all chips works.
Now when i want to reprogram my chip whit the arduino on breadbaord(via FT232) i can not figure out what programmer option to use in arduino ide. Evry1 i use i get programmer not responding message.

Thanks for help.

If you successfully burned a bootloader, you don't need a programmer option because there is no programmer. You just make a serial connection and upload the code.

how to i make serial conection whit arduino ide?

Using a TTL to USB converter, often known as an FTDI converter.

i already have that converter, i use usb cable to connect to pc. What option to choose in arduino ide to program via this?

Select the port from tools -> ports - figuring out which port it is requires watching which port appears after plugging it in, or trial and error.

If no port appears, you need to install the drivers for the serial adapter.

Choose the board appropriate to the bootloader that you have installed, the port for the converter and AVRISP mkII as the programmer

thanks all for help, and thanks to drazzy(again;), i was missing serial adapter drivers.

im getting this error:
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 7 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 8 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 9 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00

any idea will be welcome :wink:

What, exactly do you mean by that?
What did you do to be sure that "all chips works"?

What are you now doing differently in the case where it won't work?

I have used this breadboard tutorial successfully and I have no trouble uploading with an FTDI cable instead of the Uno.

i burned bootloader to five atmegas328`s and blink sketch, removed them from Uno and tested them on breadboard. All worked great. I followed this guide step by step whit identical parts and when i try to load the sketch to atmega328 via breadboard configuration via the FT232, i get those "not in sync" errors.

Sorting out this sort of problem will require some very close attention to detail.

Am I correct in thinking you had the Atmega 328's installed in an Uno when you uploaded the bootloader and the blink sketch?

Did you try any sketch other than blink - for example did you upload a version with a different blink frequency - did that work properly while the chip was in the Uno?
If you did not, I suggest you try that now.

Do not go any further until you KNOW (rather than THINK, GUESS or HOPE) that you can load any program on one of the 328s while it is inserted in the Uno.

Then you say that the 328 worked when you took it out of the Uno and inserted it into a breadboard.
You need to make a pencil drawing showing EXACTLY how YOU have connected everything and post a photo of the drawing.

Finally, you say that the 328 on the breadboard cannot be programmed with your FTDI cable.
You need to make another a pencil drawing showing EXACTLY how YOU have connected everything and post a photo of that drawing.

I know this all sounds tedious and boring - but I am not thee beside you to see what you are doing.

And, by the way, do all the testing with a single 328 chip to avoid any risk of variations or confusions.

At a wild guess your problem is because the FTDI cable connection is not causing the 328 to reset before the upload starts.
