You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below. You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes usingĭebug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).Īdafruit Trinket M0 does not have on-board debug probe and IS NOT READY for debugging.

Regardless of what platform you are on, here are the pinouts for each board:ĭo you agree/disagree? Leave me some comments. I will try to utilize the Pro Trinket for future small-form-factor projects. Sticking with the Mini will only require me to relocate the 12V connection over 3 pins from VCC to RAW. The Trinket’s pinout is too different from the Mini’s, so I would have to re-wire several items on the board or start from scratch. For this project, a potentiometer is used to.

In many cases, the software for this project wont need to be changed. This project uses a 5v 16Mhz Adafruit Pro Trinket, but nearly any Arduino-compatible board can be used. An Adafruit Trinket that controls the LEDs. And a 500mA+ current draw capability over USB is perfect for high-draw LED and battery charger projects! Conclusionįor my current project, I’ll have to stick with the Arduino Pro Mini. For this project, I used Adafruit part 2862. It allows for an on-the-fly change of power source (Battery, wall wart, potato, etc) without worrying about mapping two power leads on your breadboard.Īlso, the inclusion of a 5V output gives users the ability to run devices directly from the Arduino as opposed branching off from the power supply. Power: Perhaps I’m bitter after my loss of two boards because I didn’t read the manual, but having a single pin to handle all your input power options is much more convenient. Since I used a perforated PC board instead of a custom etched board, I was unable to utilize two of my analog pins, which would have allowed me to increase the number of buttons from 4 to 8. The pin alignment was a point of contention on another project (Patio paver button project, not yet documented). Pins: The Trinket wins in this category solely for the pin alignment. Any sketches that map to pins 2 or 7 must be modified in order to run on the Pro Trinket. 2) The USB implementation uses pins 2 and 7, rendering them unusable by the user. Adafruit make it relatively painless with their tutorial, though. 1) Some modifications to the Arduino IDE are required. There are two downsides to Adafruit’s USB implementation. If debugging is required, the FTDI turns out to be much easier.
Complete with the Atmel ATtiny85 processor with 8K of flash and 5 I/O pins, you can simply plug this kit it into any computer and reprogram it just like an Arduino thanks to the USB bootloader. Programming: Being able to program via USB is a real time saver when you just need to upload code. Small is beautiful - this second generation Adafruit Trinket development board boasts even more muscle, all crammed into a postage stamp sized board (27 x 15 x 4 mm). The Adafruit Pro Trinket wins!Here’s why: Can/should I switch to Adafruit’s board? Let’s take a look! In my search for a replacement, I stumbled upon the Adafruit Pro Trinket 5V, Adafruit’s response to Sparkfun’s Pro Mini.
The Arduino Pro Minis I designed my project around are designed and produced by Sparkfun Electronics.
Since I just fried my only two 5V Arduino Pro Minis ( see previous post,) Now I’m shopping around for replacements.
