Help programing Pro Mini 5v clone
-
Hi
I need help getting Arduino to upload my skeches to my Pro mini board.My Pro mini is a China clone at 5v.
Im trying to program it with my UsbAsp but I keep getting the common error:avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
Im on a Mac Book using Arduinos software to try to program the board.
I have programed many Arduino Uno and Nano with (almost) no problem.
So, what is the easiest way to program the Pro Minis? I will probably want to program many of them in the future so I like to find the best way (or at least A way).

I use an ftdi cable https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9873 Be sure to use one that can be switched to 5v. I have one that supports both 3.3V an 5.5V.
Once you've hooked up the ftdi to the arduino and your make book, you're good to go
