 Re: Programming an Arduino Mini 04 via FTDI
I have an Arduino Nano-based board that is running ROBOTC just fine. It has an FTDI chip and USB socket on the board, so a bit like a built-in dongle.
Just make sure the ATMega is a 328 and not something smaller.

 Re: Programming an Arduino Mini 04 via FTDI
I am confused. According to the website & docs, RobotC can run on a Duemilanove which is an ATmega168. I don't have one to test with.

 Re: Programming an Arduino Mini 04 via FTDI
The 2009 can come in a 168 and 328 variant. You might be right in that it will run on the 168 after all. From http://arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardDuemilanove : It would severely limit the amount of software you could put on it, though. I will verify with the devs. - Xander

Try The Uno or 2009 one  You can't really harm it by picking the wrong one  - Xander
