Lilypad connection problem

Hi everybody,

I just started playing with my lilypad and have trouble getting it to work. Initially I tried just connecting it using the FDDI basic breakout. However while the lilypad started blinking at varying intervals nothing on the breakout lighted up and uploading code failed with:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x30
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

I tried connecting another power supply (somebody mentioned [here that might be the issue). Now at least the leds on the breakout light up but uploading code still fails with the same error.

Maybe somebody out there has an idea what might be wrong.](http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=8475)
