Im using the Arduino pro mini 5V (16MHz) and Ardunio mini usb. It is possible to program the pro to blink on led 13. However, I programmed it with this code:
const int redPin = 0; // sensor to control red color
const int greenPin = 1; // sensor to control green color
const int bluePin = 2; // sensor to control blue color
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
Serial.print(analogRead(redPin));
Serial.print(",");
Serial.print(analogRead(greenPin));
Serial.print(",");
Serial.println(analogRead(bluePin));
}
Program upload correctly.
Swith to "Serial Monitor" tab.
Baud rate is set to 9600.
I write "1234", push "Send".
Led blink 6 times..
Arduino reply : "ùòöóòó".
My config :
Arduino Pro Mini 328 - 3.3V/8MHz
FTDI Basic Breakout - 3.3V
Got your ide version 0016.
The board selected in ide is Arduino Pro Mini (3.3V, 8Mhz) w/ ATmega328.
Any suggestions plz?
Bye,
Jiboo.
EDIT : Same result on Linux and XP.
EDIT2 : Sorry, googling it sent me to the comment on the product page and the comment by Greg Miller, sorry...
Similar problem. Initialize Serial.begin(9600), get garbage on IDE Serial Monitor, switch baud rate to 19,200, everything is fine. Must be a CPU frequency defined wrong somewhere.
This is on Arduino 16, haven't had a chance to try it on 15 yet.
I just borrowed a friend's 16 MHz 328 board and it doesn't have the problem. Must be a "feature" of the 8 MHz boards. Are you using Arduino 16 as well?
OK, my problems are solved now... for my Pro Mini (5v, 16Mhz) I have to set the board in the Arduino environment (v16) to "Arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328" - it is documented on http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Environment, but it's not super clear
