5. Opsætning

5.1. Soldering Pin Headers

The Pro Micro typically comes with separate pin headers. These need to be soldered onto the board if you intend to use it with breadboards or custom PCBs.

1. Align Headers: Carefully align the pin headers with the corresponding holes on the Pro Micro board.
2. Sikker position: To ensure straight soldering, you can insert the headers into a breadboard first, then place the Pro Micro on top.
3. Loddestifter: Using a soldering iron, carefully solder each pin to its pad on the Pro Micro board. Ensure each joint is solid and there are no solder bridges between adjacent pins.

5.2. Software installation

To program the diymore Pro Micro, you will need the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

1. Download Arduino IDE: Download and install the latest version of the Arduino IDE from the official Arduino webwebsted.
2. Install Board Support: Åbn Arduino IDE'en. Gå til Tools > Board > Boards Manager.... In the Boards Manager, search for "SparkFun AVR Boards" and install the package. This package includes the necessary support for the Pro Micro.
3. Vælg bestyrelse: Efter installationen skal du gå til Tools > Board > SparkFun AVR Boards > SparkFun Pro Micro.
4. Select Processor: Then, select the correct processor by navigating to Tools > Processor > ATmega32U4 (5V, 16MHz).
5. Forbindelseskort: Connect the Pro Micro to your computer using a micro-USB cable. The board should appear as a serial port under Tools > Port. Select the appropriate port.

Vigtig bemærkning: The micro-USB connector on the Pro Micro is delicate. Exercise extreme caution when connecting and disconnecting the cable to prevent physical damage to the port.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

6.1. Strømforsyning til bestyrelsen

The Pro Micro can be powered through several methods:

• USB Strøm: Connect a micro-USB cable to a computer's USB port or a standard 5V USB power adapter.
• External Power (RAW Pin): Provide an unregulated DC voltage between 6V and 16V to the RAW pin. The on-board voltage regulator will convert this to a stable 5V for the microcontroller.
• External Power (VCC Pin): Provide a regulated 5V DC directly to the VCC pin. Ensure the voltage is precisely 5V to avoid damaging the board.

6.2. Uploading a Sketch

Once the Arduino IDE is set up and the board is connected, you can upload your programs (sketches):

1. Open Sketch: Open an existing sketch or an example (e.g., File > Examples > 01.Basics > Blink).
2. Bekræft indstillinger: Double-check that the correct board and serial port are selected in the Tools menu of the Arduino IDE.
3. Upload: Click the "Upload" button (typically a right-arrow icon) in the Arduino IDE. The software will compile your code and then attempt to upload it to the Pro Micro.
4. Monitor Upload: The RX and TX LEDs on the board will flash rapidly during the upload process, indicating data transfer.

Bootloader-tilstand: If the board is not recognized or you encounter upload issues, quickly double-tap the reset button on the board. This will activate the bootloader for approximately 8 seconds, during which the L (LED) will pulse, allowing the IDE to detect and program the board.

7. Fejlfinding

• Kortet genkendes ikke af computeren:
  • Ensure the micro-USB cable you are using is a data transfer cable, not just a power-only charging cable.
  • Try connecting the Pro Micro to a different USB port on your computer or a different computer entirely.
  • Quickly double-tap the reset button on the board to force it into bootloader mode, then try uploading or checking for the serial port again.
• Upload errors in Arduino IDE:
  • Verify that the correct board (SparkFun Pro Micro) and processor (ATmega32U4 (5V, 16MHz)) are selected under the Tools menu.
  • Confirm that the correct serial port for the Pro Micro is selected.
  • Ensure no other applications (like serial monitors or other IDEs) are currently using the selected serial port.
• Fragile Micro-USB Port:
  • As noted in the setup section, the micro-USB connector is prone to damage. Always handle it with extreme care, avoiding any excessive force or wiggling when plugging in or unplugging the cable.
  • For permanent installations, consider using a strain relief mechanism for the USB cable or securing the board to prevent movement that could stress the port.

9. Vedligeholdelse

The diymore Pro Micro is designed for durability, but proper maintenance practices will ensure its long-term functionality:

• Renhed: Keep the board clean and free from dust, dirt, and conductive debris. Use compressed air or a soft brush for cleaning.
• Miljøbeskyttelse: Avoid exposing the board to moisture, high humidity, or extreme temperatures, which can damage electronic components.
• Strømhåndtering: Always disconnect power from the board before making any wiring changes or modifications to prevent short circuits or component damage.
• Vedligeholdelse af USB-port: Continue to handle the micro-USB port with care to prevent physical damage, as it is a common point of failure.
