Arduino Mini Pro Testing


Setup Arduino Pro Mini

Soldered a right angle header on the serial connection side of the Arduino Pro Mini (3.3V) which allowed connection of the Sparkfun FDTI Basic (3.3V) board. Downloaded the Arduino software for Windows (using WinXP) and installed. Connected the FDTI Basic board to computer via the USB cable. Ardunio appears to be powered.

For the 3.3V versions of the Arduino Pro Mini:
Tools > Board menu
Select Arduino Pro or Pro Mini (3.3V, 8 MHz) w/ATmega328

Program Testing

Sample Program from Arduino examples/1.Basics folder
Blink.ino

void setup() {
// initialize the digital pin as an output.
// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards:
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // set the LED on
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // set the LED off
delay(200); // wait for a second

}
