I have got some pro mini's, ver 05.
They are genuine made in italy jobs and cost 15x what my import knock offs cost.
But unlike the clone's I cant program them.
The pinout for the programmer looks the same.
If I plug in a cheap clone and program the blink example, no problem, if I then immediately switch to one of these ver05's nope, the ide just says programming and goes in a endless loop, and never comes up finished programming.
I tried burning the bootloader, didnt work, and I tried using an uno as a isp, that wont work either.
Both genuine and clones are 5v 16mc's.
Very frustrating as I soldered 3 of them, in, and they are on tinned copper wires not headers, shan't be doing that again.
I dont see what the difference is between the clone and original, 'cept the clone is a ver3 layout.
