Use your DuinoStamp

Obviously, your DuinoStamp requires some external connections to be useful. Here are just a few suggestions. You should also be able to adapt any use of the Arduino Mini to the DuinoStamp.

Connection with a USB-TTL (w/ reset)

Here we've connected a USB-TLL with reset capability to the DuinoStamp to provide power and communications (including auto-reset functionality). We can now use the DuinoStamp with the Arduino IDE over the virtual COM port created by the USB-TTL.

  • Connect the USB-TTL's + pin to a 5V pin on the DuinoStamp.
  • Connect the USB-TTL's GND pin to a GND pin on the DuinoStamp.
  • Connect the USB-TTL's RST pin to a RST pin on the DuinoStamp.
  • Connect the USB-TTL's RX pin with Digital 1 on the DuinoStamp.
  • Connect the USB-TTL's TX pin with Digital 0 on the DuinoStamp.

Connection with a USB-TTL (w/o reset)

Using a plain USB-TTL, follow the above direction, with the exception of connecting the RST pins. Connect a momentary switch from the DuinoStamp's RST pin to a ground point, or just attach a wire to the RST pin and briefly touch the other end to ground to generate a reset.
