Development Boards MicroMod

Hi. I have a bootloaded and programmed atmega168 that works great. However, im trying to program it through the sparkfun ft232rl breakout board with the arduino software and it gives me errors.

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

I can read and write serial data through the breakout board to Processing or whatever no problem though. just can’t program the chip through it. I’ve selected the correct port and tried slecting differnt board types. The tx/rx lights I’ve connected to my breakout blink for a bit then stop. Any ideas?

Thanks

Besides tx and rx what other connections are you making?

I updated from 10 to 11 in the arduino software and it now seems to work. weird.
