Arduino Pro Mini ATmega 328P 3.3V 8MHz, connected to USB port via USB to Serial breakout board built around the FT232RL FTDI chip. JTAGenum project code uploaded to the Arduino. I opened terminal and tried to run test command (without connecting wires between target and Arduino), but terminal output show garbage values. The baud rate of the serial console has been set 115200, as specified in JTAGenum code. Not sure whether this issue can be related to CPU_PRESCALE defintions in code.

    Most likely an incorrect F_CPU. Do you have the right board selected in the IDE?

  • Do sketchs loads OK? Only serial monitor is not OK?

  • I managed to upload sketch. I use Arduino Web Editor, I selected 'Board as Arduino Pro or Pro Mini', first it show red cross(disconnected) state, when click Change on menu, it stay connected, but when I check board type I noticed that FLAVOUR by default always selected '16MHz ATmega328', not '8MHz ATmega328'. When I select '8MHz ATmega328' it show disconnected state, so I should press Change. Does this mean my OEM board is 16MHz, not 8MHz?

  • The IDE cannot know what your board is - that is down to you to tell it. If it's an 8MHz board and you tell the IDE 16MHz you will get garbage. If its a 16MHz board and you tell the IDE 8MHz you will get garbage. If you don't know which you bought, why did you buy it?

  • No. I think Arduino Web Editor (as part of Arduino IDE) capable automatically detect the kind of board and the port it is connected to without having to individually select them. That's why Arduino Web Editor by default always show '16MHz ATmega328' in FLAVOUR menu. But in my Pro Mini ATmega board description was stated its 328P 3.3V 8Mhz model.
