upload problem with Arduino Ethernet

[Ken314159]

I am using an Arduino Ethernet board for a "Internet of Things" printer and everything seemed to go fine until I tried to upload my sketch. I keep getting the message
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

I've double-checked all the settings and haven't been able to change the response. I've even dismantled the printer and isolated the board from everything else.

Originally, I though I could upload the sketch by connecting my USB FTDI TTL-232 cable (TTL-232R 3.3V from my Mac to the board, which is what I know I could do with the Arduino Uno, but none of the lights went on, so I've connected the power and all I get is the power light, with the L9 light flashing only briefly when I power up. No activity in lights or the monitor when I try to upload. I've tried all the serial port options to no avail.

I'm using the latest Arduion software.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ken

If the board powers up via the DC connection, but not with the FTDI cable, it could be that your FTDI cable is damaged.
