Arduino MEGA 2560
The Arduino Mega 2560 is a powerful and versatile microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It’s an excellent choice for projects requiring a large number of digital and analog I/O pins, ample memory, and advanced connectivity options. This particular version utilizes the reliable CH340G USB-to-serial converter chip, making it a cost-effective alternative while maintaining full compatibility with the Arduino IDE and ecosystem.
Features
- Powerful Microcontroller: Equipped with the ATmega2560 processor.
- High-Speed Processing: Operates at a 16 MHz clock speed.
- Massive I/O: 54 digital input/output pins for all your components.
- PWM Outputs: 15 of the digital pins can be used for PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).
- Analog Inputs: 16 analog inputs for reading a wide array of sensors.
- Large Memory: 256 KB of Flash memory (8 KB used by bootloader), 8 KB of SRAM, and 4 KB of EEPROM.
- Advanced Connectivity: Includes 4 hardware UARTs (serial ports) for connecting to multiple serial devices.
- Reliable USB Interface: Uses the CH340 chip for stable USB-to-serial communication.
- Flexible Power Options: Power the board via the USB connection or an external AC/DC adapter/battery via the power jack.
- Standard Form Factor: Includes an ICSP header and on-board reset button.
