Hi, stalkers

A newbie question: how do you connect your Stalker to USB? I’ve wired a FTDI/USB of Sparkfun to the stalkers FTDI bus (tx->rx, rx->tx: is it ok?), but when loading a sketch, one LED is on, an other is blinking, Sparkfun’s txLED blinking, arduino console says “uploading”, but nothing else happens!
Where could be the problem? Should I choose another board from arduino’s menu? Which one? Or the Sparkfun in not compatible? Using Arduino21.

Thanks a lot

To loading sketch, not only TX and RX, but DTR need to connect too. (as far i know, it is connected to reset pin)
When loading sketch, arduino need the atmega to reset in the prefect time.
It just like handshake before we exchange our name card

I hope that helped, and correct me if I’m wrong.
