Following the tutorial on http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Examples-2-Use-an-Arduino-as-a-FTDI-Progr/ I was able to upload the blink sketch to the Pro Mini 5V version with an Arduino Nano. After I tried uploading the sketch that I really wanted to use but got many errors in the IDE I tried a couple more with no luck. I had stumble on another article earlier about using the Arduino Nano to program the Pro Mini http://www.electronicsmayhem.com/?p=31. I had tried that method but with no luck but using the first tutorial & only changing one thing from it with info from the article i mentioned I was able to upload the sketch without any errors. The only thing I changed was I didn't connect the TX from the Nano to the TXI of the Mini.
