I am switching from PICAXE to an Arduino clone board (XINO) wo USB. I have the PICAXE USB Programmer. Looking at schematics, both this programmer and the FTDI Basic use the FT232RLSSOP chip and have same basic hookup except the DSR reset and LED Status. I can't seem to get the IDE download to work. I manually reset the arduino and verified that my reset circuit works. The error message is copied to below.
The baud rate for the port is set to 9600-8-1-N.
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51
I checked the tutorials with no help. I found a video on YouTube of a guy who used the Arduino FTDI Programmer to program a PICAXE and used a TTL hex inverter on the signals. I am wondering if the FT232 chip Sparkfun uses on these two boards is somehow different. I have some 2N3904 transistors around so I could build a circuit to invert the signals.
Am I overlooking something?
Should I weasel out and just buy the FTDI Basic board?
Should I build the TTL inverter adapter? (Not a thrill for me if not useful.)
Any suggestions including RTFM appreciated.
