Hi

can someone please tell me whether the Arduino Pro Mini Clone (ATMega328p) is re-programmable or not!

Thanks

Don

The ATMega328P is a programmable chip.

That is all we can tell you. Which clone? From where? What is it?

Mind, it would be a bit silly making an Arduino clone of any form that wasn't programmable, now, wouldn't it?

What I meant was, it had already been programmed but, does not want to re-programme again using the same method which was:

ICSP pin 1 or UNO Pin 12 (MISO) -> Mini Pin 12 (MISO)
ICSP pin 2 or UNO +5V -> Mini +5V
ICSP pin 3 or UNO Pin 13 (SCK) -> Mini Pin 13 (SCK)
ICSP pin 4 or UNO Pin 11 (MOSI) -> Mini Pin 11 (MOSI)
UNO Pin 10 -> Mini Reset
ICSP pin 6 or UNO Ground -> Mini Ground

Suggested to me by John Wasser..

It is a clone from china, Pro Mini Clone ATMega328p.

It was first of all programed with the Blink sketch to try it out, and now any other attempts to re-programme has no effect as it still will only blink one led...

Are you selecting

File: Upload Using Programmer

to load the sketch?

5

Yes, I have selected the Arduino as ISP
Board type as: mini w/atmega328

The board type was chosen as I had the 'avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00'

6

That error is usually seen when trying to load using a serial port, not when programming via the ICSP port.
Are you sure you're selecting "File:Upload Using Programmer", and not the upload arrow?

7

ER, no. I used the arrow as it worked before, should i use the other?

8

If you are connected as you indicated in reply #2, then File:Upload Using Programmer is the only choice.

Thank you Crossroads, I will try that.

hi i have got similar problem with same board unfortunately after 6h steel can't get it to upload anty thing

after doing every thing like in this post this error show up:

Binary sketch size: 1,080 bytes (of a 30,720 byte maximum)

Estimated used SRAM memory: 11 bytes (of a 2048 byte maximum)
avrdude.exe: stk500_program_enable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x50avrdude.exe: initialization failed, rc=-1 Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override this check.avrdude.exe: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

many thx for your help

cheers
