Help programing Pro Mini 5v clone

[popunonkok]

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).

Just rememberd that I have one of these usb to serial cables. Could I use it?

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
