Arduino ProMini , as the name indicates , is a miniature version of UNO .It runs on 16 MHz crystal ,ATMEGA328 ,but lacks USB connectivity. There are 5V (16MHz) & 3.3V (8MHz) versions. In this demo I use the 5v version.
There is a voltage regulator on board so it can accept voltage up to 12VDC. If you’re supplying unregulated power to the board, be sure to connect to the RAW pin and not VCC.
Vcc accepts only 5v.
open the port under COM and LPT in your device manager.
Errors:
avrdude: ser_open(): can't set com-state for COM10
