But i am somewhat lost in your explanation. I took off the Atmega Chip from the Arduino Uno board. Then connected the pins Reset > GRN Tx > Tx Rx > Rx 5v > Vcc GND > GND BLK is not connected to anything. The Pro Mini seems to power up and resets itself. When i try to upload the arduino code the program states that it is uploading the code but never finishes, unless i force shut the arduino program. Should i change the Tools > Board > configuration in arduino program? Thnx Hello, i am finding this really useful as i am trying to program Arduino Pro Mini 5v through my Arduino Uno board. But i am somewhat lost in your explanation. I took off the Atmega Chip from the Arduino Uno board. Then connected the pins

Reset > GRN
Tx > Tx
Rx > Rx
5v > Vcc
GND > GND
BLK is not connected to anything.

The Pro Mini seems to power up and resets itself. When i try to upload the arduino code the program states that it is uploading the code but never finishes, unless i force shut the arduino program.

Should i change the Tools > Board > configuration in arduino program?
Thnx

Keep in mind automotive systems run at ~14.8V DC +/- 1 volt at least I never got a reply, I would look up the regulator part number and see what the datasheet says it’s max/mins are.

I would like to use this in a vehicle and would like to avoid using another voltage regulator Did you get an answer to the maximum input voltage question?
