![]() Thanks for your help, I'll post back on this thread once I've replaced hardware with results. Breadboard (optional) All that’s needed on your part is to get a USB cable to the Arduino Mini and the computer through the USB port. I guess the only thing to try now is replacing the Arduino or the cable? I'll probably buy one at a time and hope that whatever I rebuy first is the thing that's broken. ![]() ![]() And with limited prior knowledge of Arduino, I can't really do any programming without having the device to test with. Go back to Tools -> Programmer and set back to ArduinoISP. Go to Tools again and select 'Burn Bootloader'. Next we go to Tools again -> Programmer and select Arduino as ISP. Go to Tools -> Board and select the chinese board that is not working. The command should run successfully and you should now have a file named readfile.hex in the folder you ran the command from. Next we connect the working Arduino with a usb to the computer. The reason I got the Pro Mini is because my friend was using it for his projects and I was hoping to help with more of the software side of things, however I did not anticipate so many possible hardware/driver issues. Navigate to a folder where you can save the file you read from the Pro Mini. I did try the driver from both the Arduino folder and the latest one from the FTDI website linked from somewhere on the Arduino site. You have a few options for connecting the board: the Mini USB Adapter, a regular Arduino board, or your own power supply and USB/Serial adapter. If that is what's broken then where can I buy one from that I know will be official and work properly? The one I have now was from ebay. How do I know if its an official FTDI chip then? The cable seems to be recognized perfectly by Windows and does not produce any errors in Windows.
