It seems that sparkfun has no official response for their product.
I connected and soldered my arduino pro as shown in the figure. I soldered the reset pin to DTR as show in the figure and it seems that arduino pro will reset. I used arduino IDE 0014 and chosen arduino Diecimila as target. But every time I got error msg. shown as below.
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51
Could some body help me??!!
Well, looking at it quickly it looks like you have Tx of the Pololu module wired to Tx of the Arduino. Tx needs to be connected to Rx, and vice versa.
Plus check that you have the correct Serial Port and Board selected in the “Tools” menu in the arduino IDE
Thank you for your response.
I interchanged RX and TX, check and alter settings in the “Tools”,
it doesn’t work.
I wonder why sparkfun has no solution on it.
Allright guys, I figured out why it doesn’t work.
The connection should be:
Pololu Arduino Pro
RTS ==> RST (1st pin)
RX ==> TX (2nd pin)
TX ==> RX (3rd pin)
Vout(5V) ==> 5V (4th pin)
CTS ==> GND (5th pin)
GND ==> GND (6th pin)
Thanks a lot~
