Connecting Arduino Pro Mini 328 - 5V/16MHz with your Arduino Uno

So I want to try the Thinker Blinker project from my previous post. As mentioned, they use an Arduino Pro Mini 328 - 5V/16MHz. So hence that is what I bought. Since I already have my Arduino Uno, I wanted to just use it to program my ProMini instead of having to buy USB to serial converter. Basically, the ProMini will act as the IC board of the Uno, which is the board crucial to make the Uno running. After searching the tutorial on how to connect your ProMini to your Uno, it turns out it is pretty simple. I found someone that created the tutorial here . Step 1: Remove the IC from the Arduino Uno board. This is important because we have to 'incapacitate' the Uno so that all the 'power' will go to the ProMini. Now we just have to connect the Uno to the ProMini. I'm using a solderless breadboard to help me do this because it allows me to join other external components like an LED bulb, etc. to try whether the codes actually work. Ste...
