I really don't want to pay 16 pounds for a blimmin' USB cable just to program this thing once. Is there any seller in the UK that would sell arduino MInis pre-programmed with whatever I want (ie Arduinoboy software)?
Heck, probably buying it in China is even better. Or if I am stuck with paying that mcuh for a ridiculous cable, just tell me.
Any suggestions are welcome.
youll use the cable more than once im sure.. what about when new features are added?
Handy tip: If you have a fat arduino, you can pop out the ATMega chip from that and just use it as a programmer with 4 wires.
I want a Mini, I can't use the UNO model. Size constrains.
Peter: I thought about updates, but then again, LSDJ updated all teh time and I never did. I am not that much of an updater...
It would still be better for getting started to get a preprogrammed Mini, then if I ever want to upgrade, I can get the cable.
I mean, I am pretty sure I can find the wiring somewhere top hack a USB cable and connect it to the motherboard.... or does the cable have a chip to convert to serial?
Yes, the cable has a chip to convert to serial.
Here it is for 11 pounds at least, you can probably find it cheaper: http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info … ts_id/1397

Wait, you can buy Arduinoboys?
edit: dumb question. I meant, you can buy them pre-made and not used?

Occasionally people offer them. Scienceguy made some of the best known full arduinoboys (I had one for awhile, they're great) and trash80 briefly sold arduinoboy minis.
Nobody has produced anything like that for awhile though, and you're really supposed to ask trash80's permission before you do.

Would be nice if one of the many chipmusic supply online stores offered them. I would like to get one soon because I wanna sync Ableton with my DMG.
i think a modder is getting ready to do a run, but no idea on how soon that will be.
i have been selling kits and pre built arduinoboys for ages, i am just crap at advertising
NEX did an amazing job on mine! Just wanted to show it off
I don't want a pre-built Arduinoboy, I just want a shop that would sell me an Arduino Pro Mini already flashed with the Arduinoboy software.
Anybody? This is getting OT.

Try these: http://www.hwkitchen.com/
I asked them exactly the same question and they will glady do that.
Not sure about the final (shipping included) price...
glad you are having fun with it!
