Tutorial: How to use Pro Mini 5V / 16MHz ATMEGA328P Board

The Pro Mini board is a small but powerful version of the Arduino board, ideal for electronic projects that require a microcontroller without the need to connect it to a computer. It is suitable for both beginners and experts.

What you need

• Pro Mini Board 5V / 16MHz ATMEGA328P
• USB Mini-B or TTL Cable for Loading
• Power Supply (if needed)
• Basic Connections (LED, resistor, sensor)

Steps

1. Connect the Pro Mini board to the computer via USB Mini-B or TTL cable
2. Install the bootloader and upload a sketch to the microcontroller using Arduino IDE
3. Check that the power supply is correct (5V)
4. Connect the GPIO pins to the sensor and actuator network
5. Test the loaded sketch to check the functionality of the project

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   
  delay(1000);                       
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    
  delay(1000);                        
}

Mini project

Create a simple luminous clock that turns on and off an LED at regular intervals. Use the Pro Mini board to manage the clock.

Common mistakes

• Make sure the correct bootloader is loaded onto the board
• Check that the pins are correctly connected to the sensors and actuators
• Verify that the supply voltage is adequate (5V)

Recommended accessories

• USB Mini-B Cable
• 5V Power Supply
• Set of Various LEDs
• GPIO Connectors for Prototyping
