A number of days ago I ordered a SparkFun Arduino Pro Mini 328 - 5V/16MHz, thinking that the VCC, GND, RX and TX could alone be used to connect to a USB port. Today I learned that I was incorrect and just had to buy a SparkFun Serial Basic Breakout - CH340G DEV-14050 to go with it so I can connect it to a USB port to program it.
The whole purpose of buying as much is to use it to alter the programming of the EPROM of my brand new XYZ Printing da Vinci 2.0 Duo (for 1KG of XYZ Printing plastic filament is over $100, but the same by another maker is just $14.99 from Micro Center) print cartridges. But it's not clear what else I am going to need to use the new SparkFun Arduino Pro Mini 328 for as much. I already have pins and wires to give 5V + & - and data line to the 3 pin print cartridges.
Here are the instructions I intend to use: http://wctek.com/xyz/
Is there anything else I am going to have to buy for use of the new SparkFun Arduino Pro Mini 328 for this purpose? Extra parts keep showing up as required.
