DFROBOT FTDI Basic Breakout 3.3/5V (Compatible with Arduino)

today in the workshop we are working with the Arduino Pro Mini a tiny Arduino with big capabilities we'll see how the Pro Mini works and how to program it using an FTDI adapter we'll also build the battery-powered controller for a small robotic arm it's a small world after all so welcome to the workshop [Music] hello and welcome to the workshop today we're going to be working with the arduino pro mini now as its name would imply the pro mini is a very tiny Arduino but it's only tiny in size as far as capabilities the pro mini has the same capabilities as an Arduino Uno and that's because it uses the same microcontroller tip that the Kuno uses the 18 mega 3:28 in fact many pro minis have two additional analog to digital converters that the uno does not have so in that respect it's even a bit more powerful now there is one thing that the pro mini does not have however it does not have a U
