Getting "avrdude:stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding" while uploading sketch to Arduino Pro Mini I recently bought an Arduino Pro Mini(3.3V 328p, 8MHz) along with a CP2102 USB to TTL UART convertor. When I try to upload a sketch to the Pro Mini using it, I get a avrdude:stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding error. My connection was like 

Arduino pro mini                CP2102
TXO  ----------------------------&gt; TXD
RXI  ----------------------------&gt; RXD
VCC  ----------------------------&gt; 3V3
GND  ----------------------------&gt; GND
DTR  ----------------------------&gt; DTR


I tried inter-connecting the TXO and RXI pins and had no luck. Also pressing and releasing the reset button on the Pro Mini doesn't seem to work either.  I also tried programming it with my Arduino Uno, by removing the 328 and connecting correspondingly. Still no use. 

Does any one have any ideas?
rx -> tx
tx -> rx

Please check your connections.
