Pro Mini: How Do I Fix This?

Using Arduino Installation & Troubleshooting
#1

Hello everybody. I am 9 years old and I just recently got an Arduino Pro Mini(Clone, CH340G serial chip. I already have the driver needed). This is my error message when I upload.

Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Mini, ATmega328"

Sketch uses 1,030 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28,672 bytes.

Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

This report would have more information with "Show verbose output during compilation" enabled in File > Preferences.

Any way to fix? Please help. I will give big thanks.

Thank you who helps, Ivan Mokeyev

Help me!

Have you tried the Loopback Test yet?

Have you tried the Loopback Test yet?

Also, Promini usually does not a USB/Serial chip included. Do you have a separate module, or did you mean a Nano clone?

You do not have a Pro Mini. The Pro Mini does not have a serial adapter on it - if it's a small Atmega328p-based Arduino board with a serial adapter on it, it's a Nano, not a Pro Mini.

You've presumably selected "Pro Mini" from the boards menu, which is why it's not working.

Select Nano from the boards menu..

If that doesn't work, try Uno.

A lot of people bootload other ATmega328p-based boards as Uno's (with Optiboot), even if the hardware is a clone of a nano or pro mini. Optiboot is better than the bootloader used in the original Nano/Pro Mini - it's 512 bytes instead of 2048, leaving more room for your sketch, and it runs at 115200 baud, instead of 56700 or 19200. I've received a number of pro mini's from china that came with optiboot, not the pro mini bootloader.
