Pro Mini 5v

Hi All

Just a pretty simple question really, more to put my mind at rest so to speak or have I made a mistake.

I have soldered the headers on the Arduino Pro Mini ATMega 328 5V 16Mhz. (Blue in color with sparkfun.com and www.arduino.cc underneath) - All seems OK.

I power up the Arduino through an Arduino USB 2 Serial adaptor.
I load up a simple "Blink" sketch OK, change the delays and upload the sketch

All works fine, however, the blinking LED is RED and I expected this to be Green. Is this normal for the Pro Mini?
As I mentioned I changed the DigitalWrite delays (On and Off) to arbitary numbers like 500 and 100 ms - all is cool, just that the LED is RED and not Green?

Is this OK or am I looking for non-existent problems??

I have several Pro Minis and Nanos and they use a variety of LED colors. The Chinese boards use whatever is available. As long as it functions correctly then color is just an annoyance and not a real problem.

Cool thanks AE - appreciate the feedback :slight_smile: Pleased to know the RED doesn't mean I messed up the soldering !!:slight_smile:
