user47431: I want to program the Robotdyn Mega 2560 PRO MINI which has no USB port.
How do I connect the pins to an FTDI?
Which setting do I have to use in the Arduino IDE?

user47431: Connect the Arduino to the FTDI in the following way:

FTDI - Arduino
VCC - VCC
GND - GND
RX - TXD
TX - RXD
DTR - 100nf capacitor - RST
CTS is not connected

Use the following settings in the Arduino IDE

Board: Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560
Processor: ATMega2560 (Mega 2560)


The image shows the Arduino with colored connectors and with 4 extra rows of connectors. These are not part of the original Arduino. I added them to make it easy to connect lots of I2C devices for testing.
