Arduino Pro Micro
This workshop presents the setup, coding and debugging of the Arduino Pro Micro Microcontroller.
This page is under development.
Setup
The Arduino Pro Micro can be set up to run C/C++ programms. Here, we use the Arduino IDE for C/C++. You can also choose which operating system you prefer to run on your development machine. Here, we use Windows 10 or Raspberry Pi OS (Linux).
C/C++ on Windows 10
To program the Pro Micro using C/C++ with the Arduino IDE please use the following procedure:
- Download and install the Arduino IDE from: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
- Plug the Pro Micro into a USB port
- Open the Arduino IDE
- Select "Arduino Leonardo"
- Copy the code from here into the Arduino IDE as shown below. This code blinks the LED on the Pro Micro.
- Press Upload (save the file as BlinkOOP when prompted)
- Congratulations, you have compiled and uploaded your first Arduino sketch.
