3.2 Самбарыг ажиллуулах
The Pro Mini can be powered in two primary ways:
- RAW Pin: Connect an unregulated DC voltage source between 3.4V and 12V to the RAW pin. The on-board regulator will convert this to 3.3V for the microcontroller.
- VCC Pin: If you have a pre-regulated 3.3V power supply, connect it directly to the VCC pin. Do not apply more than 3.3V to this pin.
Ensure that the power source is correctly connected to avoid damage to the board. The board includes over-current protection for the regulator.
3.3 Самбарыг програмчлах
The SparkFun Pro Mini does not have an on-board USB connector. To program the board, an external FTDI Basic Breakout board (or a compatible USB-to-serial converter) is required.
- Connect the FTDI Basic Breakout board to the programming header pins on the Pro Mini. Ensure the pins (GND, VCC, RXI, TXO, RST, BLK) align correctly.
- Connect the FTDI Basic Breakout board to your computer via a USB cable.
- Arduino IDE-г нээнэ үү.
- Select "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini" from the "Tools > Board" menu.
- Select "ATmega328 (3.3V, 8 MHz)" as the processor.
- Choose the correct COM port for your FTDI device under "Tools > Port".
- You can now upload your sketches to the Pro Mini.

4. Үйл ажиллагаа
4.1 Basic Sketch Upload
After successfully connecting and configuring the board in the Arduino IDE, you can upload any compatible Arduino sketch. A common first step is to upload the "Blink" example sketch to verify basic functionality.
4.2 Захын төхөөрөмжүүдийг холбох
The 3.3V operating voltage of this Pro Mini makes it ideal for direct interfacing with many modern sensors and modules that also operate at 3.3V. When connecting peripherals, always ensure voltage compatibility. If a peripheral requires 5V, a logic level shifter will be necessary to prevent damage to the Pro Mini.
- Дижитал I/O: Use digital pins for on/off control, reading switches, or controlling LEDs.
- Аналог оролт: Pins A0-A7 can read analog sensor values.
- Цуврал харилцаа холбоо: Use RXI/TXO pins for serial communication with other devices.
- I2C харилцаа холбоо: The board supports I2C communication, with optional pull-up resistor footprints available.
