Details

The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Mega 2560 board is compatible with most shields designed for the Uno and the former boards Duemilanove or Diecimila.

Key components of the Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3:

• 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 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,
• A reset button.
