Arduino Mini


I was given an opportunity to work with Arduino Mini.
This is a fairly simple to code and use micro controller. It has basic functions like the digital and analog ports which is sufficient for usage for an interactive object.
Problem Faced
I spent quite a fair bit of time trying to allow my pc to communicate with the board. Limited information on the troubleshoot was available. The Arduino Mini did not respond despite repeated attempts to reset and uploading of instructions was made impossible.
I went through the list of similar problems faced by Arduino Users seeking for help.
Nothing helped till i meddled with the jumper switch on the Mini USB adapter.
Uploading was finally possible and i managed to get my codes uploaded. ^_^
