I got my usb programmers from Ebay and have had no issues apart from having to install the drivers for one of them. Posted my connections to a pro mini (chinese) in case they are of any use. If it works on win 7 can you post a pic of the com port selections from device manager ? The IDE you are using is not the most stable have you tried 1.6.5 r5 or 1.6.9 ?ĭid you double check the RX TX connections as they often need to be reversed ?Ĭan you maybe supply a picture of the wiring to the pro mini and from the ft232 (or whatever device you are using) ?Īre you connecting directly to the computer (do not use unpowered USB hubs) ? If you have anything connected then maybe take it off and can you try without anything connected ? What are you using to upload (close up picture would be great) ?ĭo you have anything else connected to the board ? We can see you are trying to set up a pro mini using IDE 1.6.7 and you have no port selection and that's it.įirst off is it a cheap copy or a real Arduino ? The pictures only tell a tiny part of the story.Īnd without any real information it is like trying to win the lottery to get you the answer you seek.
