Arduino Pro Mini / Lilypad pinouts

May 3rd, 2015

I have been using the Arduino Pro Mini and the Arduino Lilypad recently with an external programmer. As I normally use a generic USB programmer and need to connect each pin manually I am continually looking up what needs to be connected where. This is a table of connections to make this easer.
