Projects with Arduino Pro Mini

The mini does not contain a USB port. We need an FTDI for programming it (or flashing your program on it). I am using an FTDI232 USB to UART IC that I bought on robu.in

Scale

Soldering:

The pro mini did not come with the pins attached, I had to solder them as shown in the images below.

Modules:

  1. Setting up: (folder named intro)

    • This module covers the basics of interfacing with the mini.
    • This serves as an usage guide for the FTDI that we need for programming the arduino mini.
    • Datasheet

  2. Walking bot: (folder named walking bot)

    • This module contains files related to my first actual project with the pro mini.
    • A simple robot capable of walking, made using arduino pro mini, two 9v batteries and four sg90 servos.

  3. Drving two NEMA17 motors: (folder named nema17)

    • This module is for driving two NEMA17 motors (4.2 kg-cm) simultaneously with arduino pro mini.
    • The motors and the drivers are powered with a 11.1V Li-Po battery.

  4. Testdriving a mobile platform: (folder named testdrive)

    • This module documents the mobile platform I built to test out my bluetooth app.
    • Platform is made of foamboard and uses lipo as well as alkaline batteries.
    • Direction and speed control is achieved through bluetooth app.
    • Results documented in youtube.
