Hi, all - I'm going through Molloy's book, and am on the chapter regarding the BBB buses. I got an Arduino Pro Mini and some other devices for the exercises in the chapter. When the Mini arrived, I discovered that connecting it isn't as straightforward as the other devices I've used so far.
I'm a software engineer, so please forgive my lack of knowledge in the area of physical connections, but...how am I supposed to work with this thing? The videos in Molloy's web page don't address the Mini, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of information about this on SparkFun's site either, though they do indicate that soldering and some other activities might be needed. This is a little out of my pay grade, though I suppose I can learn. Can anyone point me to a reference (or just tell me how) on how I'm supposed to make connections like this? I guess most users of the BBB are more proficient with electronics than I am, because it's a topic that Molloy kind of glosses over in the book. Thank you for any help. I'm really anxious to get this working, because chapters 8 and 9 are the real reason I wanted to experiment with the BBB in the first place. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
