Arduino NEW Mega2560 is the big brother to the Arduino Uno board - with more memory and lots more I/O!
Like the Arduino Uno, the Arduino Mega2560 can be extended with a variety of shields (custom daughter-boards) with specific features such as our
Motor Shield Kit making it an ideal controller for robotics applications.
Overview
The Arduino Mega2560 is a microcontroller board based on the
ATmega2560 (
datasheet). It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4
UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16
MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
The Mega2560 is compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino UNO, Duemilanove or Diecimila including the latest Ethernet Shield.
