Usage
- Gather the necessary components: Arduino Pro Mini, USB-to-TTL converter, jumper wires, and a computer with the Arduino IDE installed.
- Choose the appropriate version of the Arduino Pro Mini (3.3V or 5V) based on your project's requirements.
- Identify the necessary pin connections for programming:
- VCC: Connect to the power supply voltage (3.3V or 5V, depending on the version).
- GND: Connect to the ground.
- TX: Connect to the RX pin of the USB-to-TTL converter.
- RX: Connect to the TX pin of the USB-to-TTL converter.
- DTR: Connect to the DTR pin of the USB-to-TTL converter (required for auto-reset functionality).
- Connect the USB-to-TTL converter to your computer via a USB port.
- Ensure that the Arduino IDE is open on your computer.
- Connect the jumper wires as follows:
- Connect VCC to the power supply voltage (3.3V or 5V).
- Connect GND to the ground.
- Connect TX to the RX pin of the USB-to-TTL converter.
- Connect RX to the TX pin of the USB-to-TTL converter.
- Connect DTR to the DTR pin of the USB-to-TTL converter.
- Carefully align the pins of the Arduino Pro Mini with the jumper wires, ensuring the correct orientation.
- Gently press the Arduino Pro Mini onto the jumper wires to establish a connection.
- Ensure that all connections are secure and properly aligned.
- In the Arduino IDE, select the appropriate board by going to Tools > Board and selecting "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini."
- Choose the correct processor by going to Tools > Processor and selecting "ATmega328P (3.3V, 8 MHz)" or "ATmega328P (5V, 16 MHz)" depending on the version you have.
- Select the correct port by going to Tools > Port and choosing the port that corresponds to the USB-to-TTL converter.
- You can now program and upload your code to the Arduino Pro Mini using the Arduino IDE.
