Arduino Pro is a minimalist design intended for users who understand the limitiations and work within them. It’s blue! It’s thin (0.8mm)! It’s the Arduino Pro Mini in retail packaging! SparkFun’s minimal design approach to Arduino. This 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. We recommend first time Arduino users start with the Uno R3. 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. We really wanted to minimize the cost of an Arduino. The Arduino Pro Mini is like the Arduino Mini (same pin out) but to keep the cost low, we used all SMD components, made it two layer, etc. This board 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) 0.8mm Thin PCB USB connection off board Weighs less than 2 grams! Supports auto-reset 3.3V regulator Max 150mA output Over current protected DC input 3.3V up to 12V On board Power and Status LEDs Analog Pins: 8 Digital I/Os: 14 0.7×1.3″ (18x33mm) Dimensions: 0.7×1.3″ (18x33mm) Less than 2 grams Documents Schematic Eagle Files Getting Started Tutorial Graphical Datasheet GitHub Projects Project page Related
