Can I use the AVR Pocket Programmer with the Arduino Mini 05?

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

The Pocket Programmer's connector has pin labels associated with SPI.
Will it work with the Mini with the following connections?

Pocket --> Mini
MOSI --> Rx
MISO --> Tx
VCC  --> +5
GND  --> GND
RST  --> R

Thanks
Jim

Nope. The Programmer does not speak TTL serial (At least in that way).

You could hook it up normally (MOSI->MOSI, MISO->MISO, SCK->SCK, etc) and upload a sketch and over-write the bootloader. If you want to put the bootloader back on, you will have to re-burn it.

Thanks.
Next question:
I have a USB - Serial cable I got to add a serial port to my netbook. Will it work?

As long as it is Linux, MacOS or WinXP, no problem. If it is WinCE, the IDE will not work.

Thanks again.

Now, if I can just find it...
