Wow just wow!!!! I cannot believe the cost of these... £1.99 and free delivery!!!! Such a bargain I am really over the moon.
Truth be told I really did not expect much at this price point and half expected either to be a real disaster getting them to work or they would be so incredibly slow and or unstable they would be next to useless ... delighted to be proved wrong.
Granted had to buy myself a USB to FTDI / Serial Converter to connect the computer to the Pro Mini which for someone fairly new to Arduinos was all very new to me but it all went really smoothly and worked with a minimum of fuss and bother than even I could manage it with my very limited skills.
Once connected with the USB to Serial converter it is just the same to upload sketches to as an normal Arduino such as the Uno so all identical in that respect but I actually found it to be faster to upload to than my official Arduino Uno which it shouldn't be given these are half the speed of the Uno but that's the way it's working out for me.
I cannot wait to use these in a very long list of projects given how ridiculously tiny they are and also how cheap at 2 quid a pop they are so affordable even for someone on a strict limited hobby budget set by the powers that be (the wife).
Little board even came with header pins for the usual Arduino pins and also a 90 degree angled set for the FTDI connection. I was dreading soldering these as normally I cannot solder to save my life and genuinely really struggle to solder two wires together let alone a ton of tiny close together pins..... so at the recommendation of a friend I tried "full fat" solder meaning proper led solder and wow what a difference I had these soldered up in literally under 2 minutes. No idea why lead free is so difficult to use..... but that's a discussion for another time and place.
Definitely very impressed and as I say over the moon as both it's price and performance. It will be a very long time before I am this impressed with a item again. Will be buying this item again and again... already placed a order for another 5.
