FTDI Programer board

[Terence Faul]

Does anybody have any experience with this chip?

I have installed drivers for it. (Not sure if they are the correct drivers) but arduino software does pickup the port.

When I try and upload a sketch I get a programer not responding error

Using Arduino 1.6 on Mac OS X yosemite

@Terence-Faul the same chip is used on official Arduino-Nano

Should be no problem. I have used it on my MAC and on PC without any issue
It is better to download drivers directly from FTDI official site

another question concerning this programmer:

• can this one be used for setting fuses on the arduino pro mini?
• if yes: whats the -p option when using avrdude with this programmer?

Thanks in advance

No, it can not set fuses.. You need a ISP programmer for that. There are lot's of "cheap" isp programmers around, even an arduino can be made into a ISP programmer.
