DC Boarduino Problem

[Azekiel]

DC Boarduino Kit (72) assembly went well. Performed all interim steps and what was supposed to blink and light up, did.
Following theassembly procedures, and not knowing the consequences, Installed Ceramic Capacitor C6.
Using the FTDI Cable (70), connected the Boarduino to the PC. The PC recognizes the FTDI on COM11 running Arduino 1.0.
Power light stays on throughout. Pressing the reset button would make the Red LED blink 3 times.
I then attempted load the standard BLINK sketch from Examples/Basics/Blink. It compiled normally.
During the upload, the Red LED blinked six times in succession, then shortly after, two more times, and I got an error code:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

If I then open the Serial Monitor, the Red LED blinks 3 times, like at reset.
When I close the serial monitor, the Red LED blinks 3 times.

If I clip the C6 Cap to run without it:
Reset button makes Red LED blink 3 times. Compile runs normally.
During upload, no lights blink on Boarduino and get the same error:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

This same FTDI cable has been used to configure multiple Xbees successfully.

Tried to attach photos, but was unsuccessful.

Thank you.

It sounds like the board is working fine. The blinks indicate that the bootloader is running and the auto-reset is working as it should with c6 installed.
What board-type do you have selected in Tools->Board? It should be Duemilanove w/Atmega328.

If you are still having upload problems, select File->Preferences and enable verbose output during upload. Post the output from the IDE diagnostic window.

Thanks.
The board type did it. I had assumed it was an UNO clone.
Had only been working with them until now. Didn't ckeck up on Arduino history.

Would have responded sooner, but the PC I originally sent this on is in the shop.

Now I can complete my project.
The boarduino, with an XBee in a Pelican box outside will connect to a waterproof thermister to transmit the pool temerature to another XBee in the house attached to an Arduino Uno and an LCD shield display.
My first non-tutorial project.

Thanks again.
