Upload Code on Arduino Mega using FTDI Cable I would like to upload my code to the Arduino Mega 2560.


The USB is fried hence I have to use the FTDI
I've a FTDI cable, but it has only 4 wires, Vcc,GND,TX,RX


How do you upload, as the ATmega is not responding to anything?
FTDI cables usually have RTS which is used to bring Reset low. If you only have four pins, press the Reset button on the board the moment you start the upload.
