Product description format_size zoom_out zoom_in

The Arduino Pro Mini is based on an ATmega328 microcontroller. The platform contains 14 digital inputs and outputs (6 of which can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a resonator, a reset button and holes for pin mounting. The six-pin block can be connected to an FTDI cable or Sparkfun converter board to provide power and USB communications.

The Arduino Pro Mini is designed for non-permanent installation in objects or exhibits. The platform is shipped with no pins installed, allowing users to use their own pins and connectors. The pinout is compatible with the Arduino Mini platform.

There are two versions of the Pro Mini platform. One version operates at 3.3 V and 8 MHz, the other at 5 V and 16 MHz.

Arduino Pro Mini is designed and manufactured by SparkFun Electronics.

Characteristics

Food

The Arduino Pro Mini can be powered via an FTDI cable, or from a converter board, or from a regulated 3.3V or 5V power supply (depending on the platform model) via the Vcc pin, or from an unregulated source via the RAW pin.

Power pins:

• RAW... For connecting unregulated voltage.
• VCC... To connect regulated 3.3V or 5V.
• GND.Ground leads.

Memory

The microcontroller has: 16 KB of flash memory for storing the program code (2 KB is used for storing the bootloader), 1 KB of RAM and 512 bytes of EEPROM (which is read and writtenusing EEPROM library).

Inputs and Outputs

Each of the Pro's 14 digital pins using functionspinMode(), digitalWrite(), anddigitalRead(), can be configured as input or output. The pins operate at 3.3 V. Each pin has a pull-up resistor (disabled by default) of 20-50 kΩ and can pass up to 40 mA. Some pins have special functions:

• Serial bus: 0 (RX) and 1 (TX)... The pins are used to receive (RX) and transmit (TX) TTL data. These pins are connected to the TX-0 and RX-1 pins of the six-pin block.
• External interrupt: 2 and 3... These pins can be configured to trigger an interrupt on either a low value, a rising or falling edge, or when the value changes. See the attachInterrupt () function for details.
• PWM: 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11... Either pin provides 8-bit PWM using the function analogWrite().
• SPI: 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO), 13 (SCK)... These pins are used for SPI communication, which, although supported by the hardware, is not included in the Arduino language.
• LED: 13... Built-in LED connected to digital pin 13. If the pin is high, the LED is on.

The Pro Mini platform has 6 analog inputs, each with a resolution of 10 bits (i.e., it can accept 1024 different values). Four of them are located at the edge of the platform, while the other two (entrances 4 and 5) are closer to the center. The measurement is relative to ground to the VCC value. Some pins have additional functions:

• I2C: 4 (SDA) and 5 (SCL)... The pins provide I2C (TWI) communication using the Wire library.

There is additional output on the platform:

• Reset... A low signal level at the pin reboots the microcontroller. Usually used to connect a reset button on an expansion board, which prevents access to the button on the Arduino board itself.

Communication

The Arduino Pro Mini platform has several devices for communicating with a computer, other Arduino devices or microcontrollers. The ATmega168 supports UART TTL serial interface, carried out by pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). The Arduino Serial Monitor allows you to send and receive text data over a USB connection.

With the SoftwareSerial library, it is possible to create serial communications over any of the Pro Mini's digital pins.

The ATmega168 supports I2C (TWI) and SPI interfaces. The Arduino includes a Wire library for the convenience of using the I2C bus. More details are in the documentation. To use the SPI interface, refer to the ATmega168 microcontroller datasheet.

Programming

The platform is programmed using Arduino software. detailed informationis in the directoryand instructions.

The ATmega168 microcontroller comes with a recorded bootloader, making it easy to write new programs without using external programmers. Communication is carried out by the original STK500 protocol.

It is possible to skip the bootloader and program the ATmega168 using an external programmer. Detailed information can be found in this manual.

Automatic (software) reboot

The Arduino Pro Mini is designed in such a way that before writing a new code, the reboot is done by the program itself, and not by pressing a button on the platform. One of the pins on the six-pin block is connected to the reset line of the ATmega168 microcontrollers via a 100nF resistor. This pin is connected to one of the flow control lines of the USB-to-serial converter connected to the unit: to the RTS lines when using the FTDI cable or to the DTR line when using the Sparkfun converter board. Activation of this line, i.e. giving a low level signal, reboots the microcontroller. The Arduino program, using this function, uploads the code with one click of the Upload button in the programming environment itself. The low-level signaling on the reset line is coordinated with the start of the code recording, which reduces the bootloader timeout.

The function has another use. The Pro Mini reboots every time it is connected to the Arduino program on a Mac X or Linux computer (via USB). The bootloader is running for the next half second after the reboot. During programming, the first few bytes of the code are delayed to prevent the platform from receiving incorrect data (all except the code of the new program). If you perform a one-time debugging of a sketch written to the platform, or enter any other data at the first start, you need to make sure that the program on the computer waits for a second before transferring data.
