Hi all
I bought some pieces of arduino pro mini 16 Mhz from ebay, I would like to know if i need to install boot loader?
In the description did not specify whether or not the boot loader was installed.
Best Regards!
If the description says Arduino pro mini then the bootloader is probably already loaded. If not then you can use another working Arduino to load a bootloader or one of the many programming modules you can buy on ebay.
Thanks for the quick reply.
So far I have only used arduino nano in writing description (ebay) whether or not boot loader is installed, at arduino pro mini did not write anything about the boot loader.
Have you tried uploading a simple sketch to the Pro Mini ?
Load the Blink example, change the delay()s to some other value so that you know that your code is uploaded if it works and upload it.
How are you connecting the Pro Mini to your PC ?
