Guide to the Arduino Mini
To get started with the Arduino Mini, follow the directions for the regular Arduino on your operating
system (Windows,Mac OS X, Linux), with the following modifications:
• Connecting the Arduino Mini is a bit more complicated than a regular Arduino board (see
below for instructions and photos).
• You need to select Arduino Mini from the Tools | Board menu of the Arduino
environment.
• To upload a new sketch to the Arduino Mini, you need to press the reset button on the board
immediately before pressing the upload button in the Arduino environment.
Information about the Arduino Mini
The microcontroller (an ATmega168) on the Arduino Mini is a physically smaller version of the chip
on the USB Arduino boards, with the following small difference:
• There are two extra analog inputs on the Mini (8 total).
Four of these, however, are not
connected to the legs that come on the Arduino Mini, requiring you to solder wires to their holes to
use them
