• 24 pin microcontroller module
• Specialized library functions for robotics
• Intended for roboticists, artists, designers and hobbyists
• Based on the ATMega328 (3.3V, 8Mhz)
• No pins or connectors included
The Arduino Pro Mini Microcontroller - 3.3V/8MHz is a 3.3V Arduino running the 8MHz bootloader (select 'Arduino Duemilanove w/328' within the Arduino software). Arduino Pro Mini does not come with connectors populated so that you can solder in any connector or wire with any orientation you need. The manufacturer recommends first time Arduino users start with the Duemilanove. It's a great board that will get you up and running quickly. The Arduino Pro series is meant for users that understand the limitations of system voltage (3.3V), lack of connectors, and USB off board.
The Arduino Pro Mini is like the Arduino Mini (same pin out) but to keep the cost low, Sparkfun used all SMD components, made it two layer, etc. It connects directly to the FTDI Basic Breakout board and supports auto-reset. The Arduino Pro Mini also works with the FTDI cable but the FTDI cable does not bring out the DTR pin so the auto-reset feature will not work.
Features:
• ATmega328 running at 8MHz with external resonator (0.5% tolerance)
• Low-voltage board needs no interfacing circuitry to popular 3.3V devices and modules (GPS, accelerometers, sensors, etc)
• USB connection off board
• Supports auto-reset
• 3.3V regulator
• Max 150mA output
• Over current protected
• Reverse polarity protected
• DC input 3.3V up to 12V
• On board Power and Status LEDs
• Supplier code : DEV-09220
