The following demonstrates how the bootloader is burned to the Arduino Pro Micro (clone) via an Arduino Uno (clone). It suggested of burning a bootloader to the Arduino Pro Micro via an ISP (a spare Arduino Uno clone in my case). I did a lot of researching, and stumbled down with a thread in the Arduino forum. However, the board wasn’t detected at all, as I could not see the port where the Arduino Pro Micro was connected to. I wanted to check if the board was still functioning, by trying to upload a Blink sketch into it. The microcontroller is “ featuring a built-in USB which makes the Micro recognisable as a mouse or keyboard.” Recently, I was revisiting my electronics components and found my old Arduino Pro Micro clone, which has a similar board with Arduino Leonardo as both boards are based on Atmel Mega32u4 microcontroller.
