It's thin! It's blue! It's the Arduino Pro Mini! This is SparkFun’s unique take on the Arduino architecture, stripping away everything but the essentials to create a board that is small, affordable, and perfect for permanent installation. This 5V version runs the 16MHz bootloader, providing the same speed and logic levels as the classic Uno, but with a fraction of the footprint.
We call it the "Pro" series for a reason. To minimise cost and profile, this board does not come with pre-populated connectors. This allows you to solder wires directly to the board or add your own headers in any orientation your project requires.
To keep the board as small as possible, we removed the USB circuitry. Instead, the Pro Mini is designed to connect directly to the FTDI Basic Breakout board for programming.
As a little pro tip, if you're supplying unregulated power (like a 9V battery), connect to the "RAW" pin. However, if you're supplying regulated 5V, connect directly to VCC.
Instead of thinking of the Pro Mini as just a shrunk-down Uno, think of it as an optimised tool! The latest open-source version of the board features:
Supporting the Ecosystem: A portion of every sale is given back to Arduino LLC to help fund the continued development of new tools and the Arduino IDE.
The original Pro Mini! A classic, minimalist 5V board best for basic projects where space is tight, and you have a 5V power source.
A minimalist 3.3V board ideal for battery-powered projects or for interfacing directly with 3.3V sensors without logic-level shifting.
A high-performance, wireless-enabled powerhouse with WiFi, Bluetooth, and a Qwiic connector for easy sensor expansion.
A Bluetooth development board with USB, a LiPo battery charger, and excellent power efficiency for low-power IoT applications.
